Granny Stitch Shorts

I wanted something simple and fast to make—granny stitch felt like the obvious choice. At first, I was going to stick with one color... but this is crochet, and it needs color. Especially in summer ☀️ The shorts work up easily, though the crotch shaping can be a little tricky the first time. Thankfully, the video tutorial walks you through it. That extra shaping in the back? It’s a game-changer. No more slipping down, pulling back, or flashing your cheeks when you sit.

And if you're wondering about the top in the photos—that's my Ruffle Me Up Top, another summer make that just happens to pair perfectly with these shorts.
