Laplace PDF
Designed by Linda Marveng
Laplace are palazzo pants; long, wide-legged and worn high with an elasticated waistband. Name after the mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace, these are trousers with side seam cables and pockets. The remaining parts are knitted in stockinette stitch to make the cable stand out.
Laplace is worked flat in four pieces for the ultimate fit and made to be worn with the KHat/beanieam jacket as a set. Why not make Laplace into culottes by making them shorter, to below the knees?
