Denim items are firmly fading into the background; fewer and fewer denim shorts can be found on modern fashionistas. After all, earlier in denim shorts why did you go? Right! Because the jeans became unusable (the knee was torn or a hole appeared), they were cut off, patches were made (as it is now fashionable to call “decorating”) and they wore funny shorts. Now this material is worn quite rarely in the summer - in the heat it is too warm and does not allow air to pass through well. Denim shorts are being replaced by short and openwork cotton, exclusive ones. After all, in a store we have to buy what is available. But it happens that the color, size does not fit, or the model itself does not fit well. If you knit the shorts yourself, they will look perfect on your figure and match any top, T-shirt or even swimsuit.
We offer you great options shorts in the diagrams below.
Shorts with floral motifs can be made in any color, flowers can also be made in any color.
Beige shorts with lace are more reminiscent of an openwork and graceful skirt. It’s very easy to create such a model by choosing the desired color and length. It will go very well with a T-shirt of the same color; you can find their patterns on our website.
The lace can be either cotton or silk, with tassels orplastic ends, like on sportswear. You can also make your own drawstring for shorts and add small pom-poms in the main color at the ends.
Pink shorts with a white pattern are perfect for a swimsuit. The thin texture perfectly absorbs moisture and allows the skin to breathe freely, and you can come up with absolutely any color to match your swimsuit.
- If you wear shorts in the city, then you need to knit them in a tight pattern consisting of double stitch with a minimum amount of air. loops and openwork.
- Shorts for the sea and the beach leave us a lot of room for imagination. The beach option can consist of beautiful openwork patterns; we recommend knitting the length to a minimum.
- Crocheting baby shorts is easier because babies don't have distinct shapes. The pattern is not so complicated, the product is much smaller in size. In case of failure, it is easy to unravel and tie again.
Based on all of the above, we suggest you practice on a children’s product, and then start knitting an adult.
Choosing yarn for crochet
There are a lot of yarns on sale now, but for the summer version, cotton, bamboo and possibly viscose remain the constant favorites. Magazines recommend choosing yarn with stretch so that crocheted shorts fit your figure beautifully and do not sag from long wear. Be careful with viscose yarn. Viscose products look gentle and weightless, but the product is very stretchy. You need to knit tightly with viscose and take a hook one size smaller than the recommended one.
Soft and moderately dense cotton with a small addition of elastane will be the best material for your shorts.
What to wear with crochet shorts
The shorts are self-sufficient on their own; you don’t need to select any special set for them. They can be worn with a light top, T-shirt or summer shirt. You can always tie a lacy top to them using the same patterns.

If you knit such a jumpsuit for a larger size, then you need to take into account the convexity of the heel and make the back of the shorts longer. It is also advisable to knit a gusset in any size. So you will have to modify this model as you knit it. But we really liked the idea, so we decided to add it to the selection.

Step 1: knitting the main part of the shorts
- Shorts are knitted from top to bottom, i.e. from the waist to the hips. The shorts widen evenly towards the bottom and measure 54 - 60 - 68 cm at the widest part. The waist corresponds to 38 - 46 - 55 cm (measurements are given for only 1 half of the shorts).
- Cast on 224-274-326 stitches and form a ring. We knit 2 rows of sc. In the next row we make 6 sc and 1 ch, so we form holes for the lace. Next we knit 2 rows. Total number of sts = 224-274-326.
- Then we divide the knitting into the front and back parts, for this we use a thread of a contrasting color to mark the sts located on the sides of the product. Starting from the next row, we knit the front part of the shorts without adding sts, but the back part will expand evenly.
- We knit the product in the round: 6 dc and 2 dc with a herringbone pattern (i.e. according to pattern A.1)
Adding sts to the back of the shorts: For uniform expansion, it is necessary to increase the number of columns on the sides of the shorts. To do this, in every 4th row we perform 1 additional st on each side, then in every 12th row we expand the knitting of the main pattern by 1 st, i.e. instead of 6 dc we make 7, etc. We continue this way until we get 224-256 -288 st in the rear. If there are not enough completed rows, then you should tie the shorts without any additions to the thigh.
Step 2: Knitting the gusset
After finishing knitting the main part of the shorts, you need to divide the product into 3 sectors. The first sector is the right leg, the 2nd sector is the gusset, the 3rd sector is the left leg. The gusset must be done at 15 stitches in the front and 18 stitches in the back. This part is knitted with simple dc, on the front and back sides. After reaching 10 cm, the gusset is knitted or sewn to the back.
Step 3: Knitting the thigh part of the shorts
We continue knitting each leg separately. The rows are knitted in the round without adding sts and naturally one side of the gusset is knitted. All rows are performed according to the attached diagrams A.2 and A.3.
- Row 1: 1 pp, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 sc, 3 ch and so on until the end of the row, 1 sp.
- Row 2: 3 pp, 3 dc, 1 ch, 2 dc, 1 ch, 4 dc, 1 sc, 4 ch in picot and so on until the end of the row, 1 sp.
- Row 3: 3 sts, 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 sc, 3 ch, 1 sc, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc2n, 1 ch, 1ds2n and so on until the end of the row, 1 sp.
- Row 4: 3 pp, 1 ch, 4 dc, 1 ch, 1 sc, 4 ch in picot, 1 ch, 4 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc, 4 ch in picot, 1 dc, so on until the end of the row, 1 sp.
After finishing knitting one leg, we do the second one in the same way. We cut the thread and fasten it.
We knit a cord from VP and pull it through the holes at the waist.
These shorts are sure to become your favorite and most noticeable!
