This pattern is for a mini knit short inspired by the Aerie Reindeer Knit Boxer. Perfect for cozy nights or lounging around the house!
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (UK: Aran, Metric: 10 ply)
- Needles: US 6 (UK 8, Metric 4mm) knitting needles
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Gauge:
20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Instructions:
- Begin by casting on 60 stitches.
- Work in stockinette stitch until the piece measures 8 inches from the cast on edge.
- Next, shape the crotch area by working short rows. Knit 35 stitches, wrap and turn, purl back to the beginning of the row, wrap and turn. Continue this process, working 2 less stitches before each wrap and turn, until there are 15 stitches unwrapped in the center.
- Join to work in the round and knit all stitches for 1 inch.
- Then, divide for leg holes: knit 15 stitches, bind off 30 stitches, knit to end of round.
- Work each leg separately. Rejoin yarn and knit 15 stitches, then work in stockinette stitch for 2 inches. Bind off.
- Repeat for the second leg.
- Weave in all ends and block to finished measurements.
