  • These mesh shorts are inspired by the same stitch pattern used in the Wave Strider mesh tank top

  • Designed to be created using your own personal measurements

  • Instructions for how to calculate stitch and row counts included in the written pattern

  • Top-down construction starting with the folded waistband (worked in rows then joined and folded) and drawstring, increasing to shape around hips, then split to work the legs individually

  • You will need something to create your drawstring (recommended tools and links provided in the written pattern) using spare worsted weight yarn

  • Gauge is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for this pattern as the calculations are based on meeting gauge, so definitely do a gauge swatch for this pattern

  • Two gauges are provided - one for the mesh and one for the ribbing

  • There is a video tutorial on YouTube
