What you will need:

• 3 mm hook
• size 1/superfine/fingering cotton yarn (50 g = 170 m). For size L/XL you’ll need 4 yarn balls (200 g). Add/remove approx 25 g per size going up/down.
• elastic band (2,5-3 cm wide)
• needle to weave in the ends & a sewing needle and sewing thread

Crochet tension:
10×10 cm = 10 rows x 20 stitches

Process:

The shorts are made in 2 panels that are put together at the end. You crochet from top to bottom in horizontal rows with increase to add more width to the bottom of the shorts. In the end you add elastic band.
