How to Crochet Shorts: Step-by-Step Guide

You'll Need

Blue yarn of medium weight;

Crochet hook 2.

Instructions

Back

Make 26 chain stitches for both shorts legs and create 2 rows with single crochets. Continue working with the alternation of 1 row of double crochets and 1 row of single crochets, making increases from the inner side every 2 rows - 2 x 1 stitch = 28 stitches.

At a height of 4 cm, connect the stitches of both shorts legs, casting on 5 stitches between them, resulting in 61 stitches in total. Continue working in the same way.

After reaching 18 cm, make a row of holes for the cord: 1 double crochet, *1 chain stitch, skip 1 stitch of the previous row, 1 double crochet*; repeat from * to * until the end of the row, then make 3 rows with single crochets. Finish the work at a height of 24 cm.

Front

Make in the same way as the back.

Assembly

Make seams. Insert the cord into the holes in the upper part of your shorts and fasten the ends with knots.
