Pajama pants are a must have in our house. So much so that we make them year round but especially during the holiday and winter months.
Perhaps that is how it is at your house. Pj's rule! That's why I wanted to share with your our free pajama pants pattern.
Not only can you grab the free pajama pants pattern but you'll get the pattern pieces for the raglan top as well.

One of the reasons I really love this pattern is that you can use either woven fabrics or knit.
Most children's pajama pants patterns are designed to hug the body. But these are loose fitting and designed for lounging around during the holidays or on cold winter nights.
Just make sure to follow the size chart provided in the pattern pieces so you get the right fit for your little ones.
This pattern comes in sizes 12 month -12 years for kids. It was tested by some great sewists with children in the size ranges. That means it will fit your child as long as you follow the size chart found in the pattern.
Let me walk you through the quick steps it takes to sew up this free pajama pants pattern. When you download the pattern, you'll get the free raglan top pattern as well.
