This pattern was a spontaneous idea that came to mind after buying this yarn.  The yarn was meant for a different project, but I had decided not to do it, sooo.... I can't stand having a large ball of yarn in my stash with no plans for it.  I have some ideas for crochet cotton shorts, which I was going to use a lighter weight cotton, but thought, "hey, I'm going to try these in the worsted weight."  Normally I would have used a different color, I'm not real fan of this color blend, but I AM pretty happy with the design itself. It's very easy and it works up quick.   There's also so many ways to customize these shorts!  You can easily make them shorter or longer, use multiple colors, stripes, add pockets or leave them without, or add even more pockets... it's up to you!  I can't wait to see your projects. And here's a friendly warning! This particular yarn DOES shrink!  So don't put them in the dryer, be safe and hang them to dr...

If you're an avid crocheter, you probably know all about DROPS Design from Garnstudio.  Based out of Norway, with over 100 stores selling their yarns across the world, they have one of the most beautiful assortments of free patterns, crochet and knit alike!  Their website is easy to use with 17 language translations and an easy to use pattern search. I love looking at all of DROPS Design's patterns, but today I am focusing on summer!  When I think of summer, I think of beautiful white flowing and lacy styled garments with a relaxed causal vibe. Some of these patterns are new to 2016 and some you may have seen in the past, but they are all the perfect picture of summer.  Enjoy!

If you can make a granny square, then you can make these shorts!   Actually, I’ve written out the granny square instructions to help you out, if you’re new to this popular, highly used, and awesome square motif!  If you already know how to make a granny square, then you can just follow the color changes up until the last row.  The last row of each square is altered to add the “gusset” or crotch in the same fashion as denim shorts.  From here, the motifs are sewn together to form the shorts.  They will look big at this point, so here’s where the waist is shaped in 3 simple rows.  You may add a drawstring if you wish, or go really crazy and continue on to full length pants.   (My next project!) I chose navy, grey, and white worsted weight yarns, mainly because I had them in my stash already!  So get creative and use whatever colors you want.  These would look pretty nice in one solid color as well...

There are a lot of nice crochet shorts patterns out there, however, not many are free.  This pattern uses Queen Anne's lace as the focal point of the crochet fabric!  I would love to see someone wearing these, as the pattern includes product photos only.  The pattern also includes written instructions, a chart for the lace, and helpful photos!  This is sized for medium only, but with some hook experience, I bet you can easily size it!
