December Pants
A knit set-up (with November Sweater) designed for a warm, comfortable winter. Wearing a favorite knit during casual moments at home—reading or knitting through the cold season—turns ordinary days into something a little richer. Refined yarn and clean lines give both the top and pants a timeless, understated elegance.
It is a comforting piece you will naturally reach for, whether unwinding at home, traveling, or on long journeys.
Pants worked seamlessly from the top down. The waistband is worked first in the round. Without breaking the yarn, the rise is then worked in the round. Short rows are used to shape the back rise for a comfortable fit. Hip shaping is created with increases placed at the side dart sections as well as at the front and back thigh sections. At the crotch, the work is divided and each leg is worked separately in
the round to the hem. From below the knee, the legs are worked in crossed stockinette stitch to create a denser, more durable fabric.
