Description
The Limestone Leggings and Top is a fun and functional knit set perfect for layering, lounging and moving.
The Limestone Leggings and Top are knit foundation pieces for every season.
With multiple views and leg lengths, the Limestone leggings are an activewear workhorse for many activities. The curved pockets provide a playful and practical element while the contoured waistband and carefully placed seams support comfortable movement and fun color-blocking potential. The pattern also features a crotch gusset for ease of movement and increased comfort due to the reduction of bulky seams.
The Limestone Top is a super quick sew. Choose between high-back and scooped-back views. Adding the optional wide elastic band transforms it into an easy sports bra.
This pattern is suitable for confident beginners or intermediate sewists new to working with knit fabrics.
Drafted for a height of 5’5” (165 cm) and a C-cup.
