Lisbeth is a slim-leg pant pattern that’s just as happy running errands as it is heading out for dinner. View A has a classic look with a real zipper fly, a partially elasticated waistband, and a regular hem. View B is the more relaxed sibling, with a faux fly, elastic cuffs, and a drawstring waistband.

Both views feature deep slanted front pockets, big patch pockets in the back, and an inverted arc yoke that adds shaping without being too fussy. The pattern is designed for non-stretch wovens, but it also works beautifully in knits with light to moderate stretch.

One note about View A: it’s a true pull-on style, and depending on your measurements, it might be a bit of a squeeze over the hips. That’s on purpose. It’s drafted with minimal gathers at the waist for a cleaner silhouette. Just something to keep in mind before you start yanking.
