Patterns designed for knit fabrics are engineered to fit with very little ease built in. They are dependant on the stretch of the knit to take care of that. Patterns designed for woven fabrics typically have at least 3 or more inches of ease built in so you can move in the garment. If you make something from a woven fabric with a pattern intended for a knit, you won't be able to move in it.
