It’s that time of the week again: Digital Release Thursday. And this week we’re bringing out the Nature Walk Pullover + Knit Pants<\/a> pattern in digital format.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Nature<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Nature Walk Pullover is an\u00a0easy-to-sew, casual, color-blocked top designed to be sewn in woven fabrics. It can be made in lightweight fabrics for a casual shirt or in heavier fabrics for use as a layering piece in place of a sweatshirt or jacket.<\/p>\n

You might be interested in re-reading the blog post<\/a> Liesl wrote when this pattern\u00a0was\u00a0originally released. She explains how you can use a\u00a0heavier fabric as the base and a lighter printed fabric as the contrast on\u00a0this piece to make an insulated top with some visual interest.<\/p>\n

One of our favorite features of the pullover is the cute kangaroo pocket that kids love to use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspired by a favorite pair of yoga pants, the pull-on knit pants have a hidden elastic waist and are designed for knits with at least 25% stretch. Liesl thinks this is the quickest and easiest pattern to sew that she has ever developed.<\/p>\n

Because the pants don\u2019t have a side seam, they can be used as a athletic pants and \u00a0even as pajama bottoms in addition to being great everyday casual wear.<\/p>\n

Intimidated by sewing with knit fabric? Don’t be. Here’s a set of tips for sewing with knit fabrics<\/a> that will get you going. And do you notice that cute lettuce edge hem on the yellow pants above? Liesl did a tutorial<\/a> for that some time ago that you might want to revisit if you decide to give the Nature Walk pants a try.<\/p>\n

You can purchase the pattern as a digital download<\/a> now in the Oliver + S Shop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
