Lottapants:

Information on sizes/fit of the Lottapants:
The Lottapants have a loose, comfortable fit with straight legs. They sit at navel height, but can also be worn high-waisted due to the elastic band at the top. Due to the elasticity of the wool, you are also flexible in choosing the size: If you want your pants to fit tighter, take one size smaller. If you want your pants to fit looser, take one size larger.

Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL
suitable for waist circumference 62-66 (67-72) 73-78 (79-84) 85-90 (91-96) 97-102 cm

and 200 (200) 200 (200) 200-250 (250) 250 g color B (stripe color)

Please note: The material consumption depends on how long the pant legs are knitted. The indicated amount of wool was sufficient for our test knitters up to an inseam length of approx. 75 cm.

The pants can be knitted from wool, but also from cotton (= any yarn that matches the gauge and yardage) and is therefore a basic for every season.
Furthermore, the pants do not necessarily have to be knitted with a double strand. For example, a cotton yarn with 50 g = 100 m will also work.
