The crochet shorts patterns i am going to be sharing with you today are not vintage and old looking.
No!
I have some stylish modern crochet shorts that can even be tempted by a beginner. And the good thing with most of these shorts is, they come with video tutorials. So if you are a visual learner like myself, then get on board! This is for you!
How to crochet shorts for beginners
Depending on the crochet pattern you are using, the construction of the shorts will be different. Some will start at the hand and work their way down, while others will start with the legs. Some will be granny squares while others will work the front of the shorts then the back separately. That is the beauty of crocheting.
Can i crochet a short as a beginner?
Absolutely! You will have to be familiar with a few crochet techniques if the pattern calls for them!
Tips to crocheting shorts
Read through pattern
Before you give a new crochet pattern a go, it is best to read your way thought the crochet pattern to see if there are new terms and stitches you do not know and need to learn before you start working on the pattern. It also helps you prepare for materials.
Follow gauge
Whatever gauge the designer had when crocheting the shorts, be sure to have the same. If they blocked their crochet shorts before calculating the swatch, block your gauge swatch too. If you do not know what a guide is, then learn how to make a crochet gauge before you start working on the pattern.
If the gauge you have is smaller or larger, then either go up or down a hook size or yarn. To get the same results as the picture, be sure to follow the instructions.
Have access to all the materials
Unless you are very sure of what you are doing, be sure to use all the materials that the crochet pattern calls for to get the same outcome!
