ABOUT PATTERN
The Loulou Shorts are worked from top down on circular
needles. Start your work with a provisional cast-on, first work
the body back and forth in twisted 1/1 rib stitch, then continue
to work the body in the round until legs separation and continue
the legs in the round. Finally work the buttonband and the
waistand.
The shorts are made of linen, they are very light and
comfortable to wear.
NOTE: With this yarn and color it is slightly sheer. It is better to
choose a darker color if you mind.
