Easy crochet shorts tutorial| DIY| beginner friendly 

thank you

Update?

It took me 6 months bc i was too lazy to buy more yarn 💀

How many grams of yarn did you use?

Ahhhh I’m so glad to hear this, thank you ❤️🥰

Yayyyyy I’m glad you love them ! Hahaha yes they do make the booty look🔥🤣

this is weird but when you wear them can you see your undies through the little gaps? cause i’ve started making them but i’m paranoid about that happening

@@eeeeeeeeeee5516 just wear undies the same colour as the pants/ wear the same colour undies as your skin. Nobody really notices- that’s what I do :)

Mmmmmm are you adding enough single crochets ?

Use smaller hook when u do waistband.

Probably a little late but I had the same issue until I realised I forgot to chain one after every stitch!

You could do slip stitches for the ribbing

You could also try the stretchy foundation chain.

ahhh thank you, makes me so happy because I love these shorts too1

does anyone know where it's from?

@@isabellahargreaves8620 in another comment she said vinnis colours!!

Hey, I’m not sure if I remember correctly but I used 3x 50g balls of yarn.

@@Oliviatully28 thank you so much!

Goodluck 🤞🏻 feel free to message me on Instagram if you need help :)

Thank you. I think it will be ok with this video 🙂👍...and I'm not on instgram

Im sort of having the same issue and i'm going to try a few things but i think that just increasing more and faster should do the trick... like i started increasing in the first row instead of the third and might even start increasing in 2 more spots in the back as i get further down to make it fit my butt

Hey, I’m sorry about this, you could make the waist bigger and then make a draw string for the shorts ( make a chain then weave the chain through the top of the shorts so you can tie it) or you could make the waist band longer so it can fold over then crochet an elastic in the fold. Idk if that makes any sense.

@@Oliviatully28 this wasn't my comment but I was having the same problem so thanks for responding :)

Oh gosh, I can’t remember. You can adjust yours according to to preference

Hey so the only thing I can think of is that you are doing to little single crochet. What you must do is count the number of rows you did for the waistband and then match the amount of single crochets with the rows of the waist band ( for example if I do 110 rows of the the waist band, I’ll try do 110 single crochets around the waistband.) - idk if that makes any sense

@@Oliviatully28 i got it fixed!! thank you!!!

@@marinad9148 hii can I ask how u fixed it? Did u use a larger sized hook? I'm having the same problem haha

@@lx8435 yes okay so i was accidentally doing each double into a separate stitch. you should do all three in one stitch!!

@@marinad9148 I only saw your reply now haha, thank u so much!

Thank you Xx I used a 2.5mm crochet hook :)

I use 100% cotton, it’s last longer and feels way nicer. But you can use polyester, it’s up to you :)

@@Oliviatully28 thankyouuuu

@@Oliviatully28 did you find cotton doesn’t stretch as much though?

You can do more rows… & then sew an elastic into the waist and instead of doing a draw string

Not really. But one could line them.

​@@Oliviatully28merci

You can use any stitch you want just go through the back loop

Could be tension, or chaining too many between each stitch or you might not be doing 3 joint double crochets 🤔 also if you want smaller gaps maybe try 4 joint double crochets, I think this may helps but I’ve never tried it :)

You can try :)

How big is too big? If it’s not that big, once you’re done you can make a chain then weave it through the waist band so it’s a draw string.

@@Oliviatully28 thanks for replying! It’s more the hips that are the issue:/ they’re doing that thing you mentioned where they puff out from the increases. I’m thinking about weaving elastic thread around them but was hoping for another solution!

@@kimdonahue4344 ok…. Just thinking, you can also sew in a thick elastic if you have a sewing machine. I have made a crochet skirt where I explain how to do this.

@@Oliviatully28 okay I’ll check that out! Thanks:)

If you do little bits at a time you can make it in a week I’d say, I made these in a day( like just going at it all day 😂)

Crochet the ribbing until it's a slightly less than your measurement. It should fit when stretched lightly. If it's stretched to the max just to fit, I would add a little more to give you some wiggle room. Keep track of how many rows you are making as you make it. When it's the right length, put the same number of single crochets around the top of the ribbing as rows you have. In the video, the ribbing is 58 cm which she states is about 7cm less than the actual waist measurement. So, for instance, if your measurement is 120cm maybe go with 110-115cm. She then makes 104 single crochet into the top of the ribbing because she has 104 rows. So, if you have 220 rows, place 220 single crochet stitches around the top of the ribbing. Everything else should be the same. Since you're making it to fit you, you might need to make it longer or shorter before you start the legs and you might want to make the legs longer. That is up to personal preference and your body type. Good luck!

@@Krissyrocksoutloud thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I think I'll get there!!

natural, princess peach, princess aqua & orange- the brand of yarn I used is called Vinnis colours

That is an Xs

Of course ! You can make it however you like 💫✨

Cotton - vinnis Colours, Nikkim collection

No

You can

Dk light worsted & I think it’s 4ply

@@Oliviatully28 thank you so much!!

100% cotton - if that’s what you’re asking ?

I don’t really know, I like to think it’s a mini cluster of sorts

Cotton. Dk light worsted Xx

I am indeed

Vinnis Colours, Nikki collection.

Make more rows at the waist band(obviously to fit you) so that you’ll have more stitches to work in :)

Thank you. My waist fits your pattern but my hips don’t. Is there anyway for me to make that part baggier?

@@kionasankar4110 yes , just increase in more stitches

Ahhhhh no I’m sorry 😢

@@Oliviatully28 don't apologize i should have taken my measurements into account a little sooner, its just a pain to open all those stitches again hahahah

I’m not sure what you mean by that. It’s Dk yarn. I just use a 2.5mm needle because I prefer it & I have a loose tension

its kind of high waisted, but you can adjust the pattern accordingly suit you :)

I use Cotton

I used about 300g of yarn but it could differ

Vinnis colours

@@Oliviatully28 thank you!!🥰❤❤🙏

Oh gosh, I can’t remember I think maybe 1 of each and 2/3 of white

thank you 🙏

Absolutely!!! Also if you want if bell bottom or to flare out a bit on the lower part of the leg- just increase accordingly(to how you like it :)

@@Oliviatully28 Amazing! I'm currently making pants now for coachella, if I wanted to decrease the stiches around my knees /lower legs how would you suggest that?

@@brittanylauren7577 I actually haven’t tried to decrease but I’m just thinking you can either skip gaps or not chain one in between the stitches( leaving no gap to work in on the next row) - I’m not sure if that makes any sense.

@@Oliviatully28 That's what I was thinking! I just didnt mess it up haha thank you!!!! :)

@@brittanylauren7577 I would love to see the result if you have finished them! I was thinking of making pants too ☺️

I would say cotton would be your best bet.

4 ply

@@Oliviatully28 can i use 8 ply?

@@talortaibel9214 you can but you would probably have to adjust the pattern

Mmmmmn I’m not to sure, like 2 days with lots of distractions 😂

thank you :( please could you recommend a solution to this issue, I would appreciate it xx

There is no right and wrong for crocheting!!! This is your point of view but I think she is actually pretty good, and the end result is great :)

Why so negative? This is an amazing tutorial and just like mili bern said everyone crochets in a different way:)

That wasn’t very nice. I think you’re amazing, I really appreciate your thorough tutorial!
