Handmade: The Cuffed Over Crochet Shorts.

Hello there! Hope you're having a lovely week! Every now a design to create crochet shorts comes across my mind and I know I have to make it! For these shorts, I wanted a built in cuff feature for the shorts because I love the idea of that look. These shorts are super comfortable with an elastic waist band it fits my frame quite well and just the perfect outfit wear during the Summer!

Pattern Details:

The yarn I used: Cream (1 Skein) [Loops & Threads]
Medium 4
The hook I used: H/8-5.00MM

HandMade: The Pumpkin Pie Crochet Shorts.

Hello there & Happy Handmade Thursdays to ya! Still feeling a bit under the weather, but I couldn't wait to show this new crochet short design I have recently made. Wanting to utilize an exposed zipper somewhere in this design, it suited the design in the end, just the way I imagined!

I feel as if crocheting shorts, for me personally, has been an evolution, I try to create better ones each time, it's basically practice. I entirely feel that there's always room to learn and experiment! I used a simple technique for creating these shorts, I wanted to keep the stitch as simplistic as possible as well as the pattern. Especially seeing that I would want to wear them all throughout the Autumn season. I didn't feel it needed anything going on with it, sometimes basic is okay! The exposed zipper on the side, offers that little bit of snug and security for this design which I could not decide on where I truly wanted to place it, I opted for the side because it adds a little detail to such a simple design.

On the real, to be entirely honest, these shorts are ridiculously comfortable! After shooting the photographs for them, I just stayed in them all day long. Truly one of my favorite designs yet, I can't wait to put the pattern up!

HandMade: The Sunday Crochet Biker Shorts.

Hello there! Happy Thursday to ya! Here is my latest finished WIP, that I have been putting on hold for quite awhile now, but here it is! I made a pair of crochet shorts about two years ago, when I first started crochet blogging. [Crochet shorts pattern.] This pattern is a bit of a departure from the initial one, hopefully, it exhibited the growth I feel my crocheting technique has shown over these few recent years. Learning each day ya'll!

This project was inspired for my love of dresses and the idea of wearing cute little biker shorts underneath. So I thought it would be super cute to crochet up a pair with that in mind. With these particular shorts, I utilized an elastic waist for a comfortable fit. I must say, these shorts are so ridiculously comfy, I can wear them all day every day. (And I probably will!) 

Project Details:
The yarn I used was Caron Simply Soft Yarn, featuring Sage.
The hook I used was a G/6 4.25MM.
The Sunday Crochet Biker Shorts pattern is entirely experimental from my own pattern. 

 Now I am off to work on my current project, have a lovely night!
