PATTERN NOTES
The joggers are started with the waistband, check out the size you want to make and make either the single or double waistband below with the amount of rows for your size, (see size chart).
After the waistband the joggers are made in a spiral so there is no joining of rounds, which gives a neater finish.
I have a video of a cowl neck warmer that shows how to make and fold the doubled waistband and work the first row of sc to close up. VIDEO
