Kids Elastic Waist Jersey Leggings

Kids Elastic Waist Jersey Leggings are a classic everyday basic for active children. The simple pull-on shape with a comfortable elastic waist makes dressing quick and independent, while the close-fitting jersey cut moves easily with running, climbing and sitting cross-legged on the floor. It is a straightforward project that works well as a first knit-fabric make or as a quick repeat sew in several colours.

Stretch cotton jersey is the natural choice here, giving a soft hand and the flexibility the style depends on. Other stable knits with good recovery suit the design equally well. Wear them to kindergarten and school, under tunics and dresses, for sports and playground afternoons, or layered through cooler months as a comfortable alternative to woven trousers.

Sizes run from 2Y to 12Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
