Eris Trousers (EN)

The Eris Trousers crochet pattern by Enida Avdic of yarnS design is a beautifully detailed and customizable project designed for style and comfort. These trousers are worked from the top down, allowing you to easily adjust the length to your preference—whether you're aiming for elegant full-length pants, trendy culottes, or cute summer shorts. You can also modify the fit from slim to wide-leg by adjusting your increases or decreases throughout the pattern.

The main design element is a delicate lace stitch, made from a combination of double crochet (DC) and treble crochet (TC) stitches, adding a soft and breathable texture to the finished garment. For durability and structure, denser double crochet rows are added at key points. The trousers are crocheted using a 3 mm crochet hook, though adjusting your hook size based on tension is recommended for best results.

The pattern is designed with Go Handmade Soft Bamboo Fine yarn in mind—a luxurious fingering weight yarn (#1) composed of 60% bamboo and 40% tencel. This yarn offers an incredibly soft and silky feel, along with excellent stretch, which makes it ideal for this design. Due to its stretchiness, blocking is essential, especially if you're working to a precise length. Yarn quantity varies by size, from approximately 320g for size XXS-XS up to 530g for 4XL-5XL.

The Eris Trousers come in inclusive sizes, ranging from XXS-XS to 4XL-5XL, and are meant to be worn with negative ease at the waist and hips and positive ease through the legs, depending on your chosen fit. Instructions are clear and thorough, including guidance on adjusting size, inseam shaping, leg width, and waistband construction. The waistband is designed for comfort, using a foundation chain technique for flexibility, and finished with a hand-crocheted I-cord drawstring.

Whether you want something snug and stylish or light and flowy, the Eris Trousers pattern is the perfect foundation for a handmade wardrobe essential—elegant, comfortable, and entirely tailored to you.
