Candy Shorts
€8.00
These striped summer shorts are a fun and stylish addition to your warm-weather wardrobe! Worked seamlessly in the round, they feature an invisible folded waistband with elastic for a comfortable and secure fit. The pattern is designed for sizes S, M, and L, with simple adjustments to customise the length to your preference.
Perfect for beach days, lounging at home, or pairing with a breezy top for a casual day out, these shorts are a quick and satisfying project. The playful stripes make them a great opportunity to experiment with colours, whether you prefer bold contrasts or soft, subtle tones. Or even with just one colour!
I hope you enjoy knitting and wearing these versatile summer shorts as much as I did! Happy knitting ♡

The product has approximately 4 cm / 1.5 inches of positive ease when stretched. If you are between sizes, choose based on your hip measurement, as the waist can be adjusted with the elastic band. These measurements were obtained manually with the product laid flat and may have slight variations of a few millimetres.
**Waist measurements are approximate, as they depend on the length of the elastic band you insert.
10x10 cm: 19 stitches by 29 rows on 3.5mm needles in stockinette
For the shorts in the picture I’ve used Drops Paris blush 20 and Bordeaux 37. For the alternative option, I've used the colours Powder Blue 76 and Parrot Green 72.
You can replace the yarn for any other that meets the gauge!
