The Sion Lounge Bottoms are here to keep your bottoms warm. Whether you only need a little extra heat or the full experience, these are a simple knit, with seemingly infinite benefits! Sion is named for an Irish word for “the elements”. The Sion Lounge Bottoms are available in two lengths: Bloomers or Long Johns. Knit in the round to the legs, then split into two sections knit separately in the round. The waistband is folded over and an I-cord waist tie is added last. Make both lengths! Make a matching pair for a friend or lover. The possibilities are endless.
