Add a splash of fun to your life with these adorable knitted shorts and pants! Perfect for sleeping in or lounging around, not only will you be comfy and cozy, you will look super cute too!

These shorts and pants are knitted as one piece in the round from the top down. The waistband is knit using the smallest (1.75mm) needle to ensure it is snug on your waist so you won’t need anything extra to keep them up. The waistband is then folded and joined with options to insert elastic or add eyelets for a drawstring if you desire. They are then knitted until the crotch where the legs are separated and knit one at a time. The length of the inseam is then knit totally custom to you, with a variety of finishes to choose from.

A full page photo tutorial is included for how to knit short rows, as well as links to tutorials for all techniques used. Please note that the pants were made on my knitting machine so they look different in that they have seams at the front and back, but will otherwise turn out the same!

Enjoy!
