Detailed Pattern
- Waistband:
- Make a slip knot and create six FHDC stitches.
- Row 1: Chain 1, turn, place an HDC in the first stitch.
- Next 4 stitches: HDC in the BLO.
- Last stitch: Regular HDC.
- Repeat this sequence until the waistband measures twice the waist circumference plus one (for an odd total number). E.g., 27 * 2 + 1 = 55 rows.
- Connecting Waistband:
- Slip stitch the two ends together through the back loops.
- Turn the waistband inside out.
- Hips:
- Chain 1 and insert your hook into the sides of the pieces, creating HDC close enough to avoid gaps.
- Complete the first round with a slip stitch into the first HDC.
- Crochet 14 rows of HDC, using a stitch marker to track rounds.
- Splitting for Shorts:
- Mark the midpoint with stitch markers.
- Perform 10 FHDC at the midpoint to create the crotch.
- Slip stitch to connect the fronts and backs.
- Create 62 HDC around one side, repeat for five rows, and then finish the other side similarly.
- Finishing:
- Add single crochet (SC) row in the waistband’s color, linking both sides.
- For the drawstring: Create a slip knot with two strands of yarn, chain 150 to form a braid-like string, and thread through the waistband.
