Crochet Shorts Frequently Asked Questions
Why crochet shorts?
Crochet shorts are a cute and fun item to add to your outfit, especially as the weather warms up! They can also be extremely versatile, such as using a lightweight cotton yarn for a breathable fit to wear at the beach or wool to keep your legs warm.
How do you wear crocheted shorts?
Grab a pair of crocheted shorts, a coordinating T-shirt, and add a blazer over top for an easy, on-the-go, appropriate-for-everything look. You can dress up the outfit further with a pair of chunky boots or strappy heels, but if you’re just running out to do some errands, a fresh pair of white sneakers will do.
What kind of yarn do you use to crochet shorts?
Cotton yarns and cotton yarn blends are ideal warm weather fibers due to their lightness and breathability. Many easy crochet shorts patterns listed use cotton and other natural fibers such as linen yarns, bamboo yarns, and yarn blends.
Acrylic yarns, while affordable, do not create a breathable fabric so they are not the best suited for summer clothing like crochet skirts and crochet summer shorts. They would be more suitable for shorts you would wear at the beginning of autumn, or early spring.
How to measure your crochet shorts?
Crochet patterns for shorts are typically available in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Check the pattern to ensure you’re using the correct size. If you are unsure of your size, try on a pair of pants that fit well and use that as a guide (or make one or two test swatches).
If you have trouble getting accurate measurements from yourself or others, consider measuring over clothing if possible or having someone else measure you instead of doing it yourself.
Are crochet shorts in style for 2023?
Yes, crochet shorts are definitely in style for 2023, so make yours before they go out of style! Most celebrities are seen wearing them, and we can’t help but adore this trend. These shorts are definitely worth crocheting, so get your hands on them and wear them with matching crochet sets or any plain shirts or crop tops.
These crochet shorts are perfect for wearing over your swimsuit or for everyday wear.
