He had a suitcase with his mountaineering things in it, and part of that were some 'knickerbockers', baggy trousers that reached down to your calves. +> +> When I moved to the USA in my thirties and started hiking myself, I would often reflect on those talks and felt sad that I didn't inherit those knickerbockers. Then when I discovered sewing, I decided I would make myself a pair, but no good patterns presented themselves. +> +> This year someone on the Freesewing discord server posted a link to The 'Keystone' Systems, Practical methods of cutting, from around the turn of the century. This contained a drafting system for 'Cycling Breeches', which seemed to be close to what my father used to wear, and could be translated into a Freesewing pattern. A project was born, and I'm happy to be able to present the results to you. + +As Wouter mentioned; This pattern is based on [the Keystone drafting method](https://archive.org/details/keystonesystemsc00heck/page/n5/mode/2up). Not that it matters because as always you get it made-to-measure for you [right here on FreeSewing.org](/designs/cornelius/). + +![Here's the man himself](https://posts.freesewing.org/uploads/wouter_9fbc821146.jpg) + +Note that you don't have to cycle to wear these. All that's required is a willingness to show of those socks (or calfs). + +Cornelius is available at [/designs/cornelius/](/designs/cornelius/). + +
