Abstract
A resilient, flat closed-cell knee pad is rolled and inserted through a gap in a seam attaching edges of a patch to the knee area of a work pant. The knee pad then unrolls and fills a space between the work pant and the patch thereby protecting a wearer's knee when kneeling.

- rolling a knee pad that is wider than said gap so that it is substantially tubular in shape, and
- inserting the rolled knee pad through said gap and into a space between said patch and said knee area, whereupon said knee pad unrolls itself within said space.
