Thank you for choosing to crochet shorts for your partner using Katia Alabama yarn and a 4.5mm crochet hook. The finished piece will feature a big checkered pattern with two contrasting colors, designed to be loose-fitting for comfortable summer wear. To maintain the structure while avoiding an open mesh look, we will use a stitch pattern that strikes a balance between breathability and solidity.
Materials:
- Yarn: Katia Alabama (worsted weight) in two contrasting colors
- Crochet Hook: 4.5mm (US7, UK7)
- Elastic band for the waist
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Measuring tape
Gauge:
Work a swatch in the stitch pattern to achieve a gauge of X stitches and Y rows per 10cm (4in).
Pattern:
- Begin at the waist and chain a multiple of stitches to reach the desired waist measurement. Join to work in the round, being careful not to twist the chain.
- Work in the chosen stitch pattern for the desired length, keeping in mind that the shorts should reach 45cm from the waist.
- For the crotch area, you can either work additional rows in a solid color or shape the crotch with decreases, depending on the fit you want.
- Finish off the leg openings with a border in a contrasting color for a clean edge.
- Sew the elastic band to the waist for a comfortable fit.
- Weave in all ends and trim excess yarn.
Feel free to customize the length, fit, and color scheme to suit your partner's style. Enjoy the process of creating these unique checkered crochet shorts!
