Linen Cropped Pants with Elastic Waistband

These cropped pants bring together ease and everyday polish in one relaxed silhouette. An elastic drawstring waistband removes the need for zips or buttons, making the pattern approachable for newer sewists while still giving a comfortable, adjustable fit. Functional pockets keep the design practical, and the cropped length makes the pants a flattering option for a wide range of heights and body shapes.

Linen is the natural choice here, with linen blends, cotton lawn, chambray and other light to mid-weight woven fabrics working beautifully for a soft, breezy drape. Wear them through warm weather with a simple tee or tank, dress them up with sandals and a blouse for travel and summer evenings, or style them with knit layers when the temperature drops.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 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.
