Yarn
Model wears a women’s medium and is wearing a medium sample.
Construction: These beach pants are crocheted seamlessly from the waist down. You’ll begin with the waist and then add increases to create a looser hip section. After completing the hip section, you’ll split for the legs. Instructions are included to customize the length of the inseam. Once both legs are complete, you’ll crochet a simple tie and weave it in and out of the waistband.
