Thank you ❤️

Your welcome 🤗 thank you for watching 💗

Hi , so if you want them to be longer just work more rows until u have your desired length. But because you want them so long they may flare out @ some point you might have to work a few dec. thank you for watching 💙

Helllo ,😊 The height of the band for 10 hdc is around 1.5” to 2” unfortunately I can’t give you an exact st count with the yarn you’re using, but these measurements should help. As far as when to do the holes, that’s completely up to you. It wouldn’t make a big difference if you wanted your holes closer or far apart. Do what you feel looks best as it is your piece of art. Tips *With the yarn being bigger you will have to change the part of the pattern where you rotate between hdc & inc. unfortunately I can’t give you and exact count with out doing it my self, but I would suggest increasing every 5th st or maybe even more . You’re going to have to play around with that row. I hope that helps. Good luck 🍀 thank you for watching !! 😀

@@thecrochethermitthank you so much for getting back to me so fast! This helps a lot. I’m just going to complete them based on my body measurements so I will just follow your advice for how to customize the size. I think it should be fine since I’m going off of measurements for each step instead of stitch count. I have a ton of the super soft “we are knitters - cloud yarn” so they’re going to be so soft and fuzzy and comfy. I will be sure to tag you when I’m finished. You do great work! 😊

Thank you 😊. & yes measurement base is always best. & 😍 how fun , can’t wait to see your finished project. Good luck 👍🏾

Hi, So for these specific shorts we are not slip stitching to close the row so if you are doing color change, the colors will not line up. But if you want to do color change that align you would have to slip stitch at the end of each row ,change your color ,then chain up. Unfortunately I don’t have a video where I can physical show you. I hope this helps though. thanks for watching 🩷

Yes thank you!

*UPDATE (Hello, 😊 the amount of yarn used for this project for a size medium is 350 yds. So if you plan to make a medium 482 is fine )

Hi friend, I have a video on how to crochet for the main stitches, you can see how I work my half double crochet in detail. And the video has time stamps. I’m hoping that will help good luck .

@@thecrochethermit ok thank you!

I honestly think both are great. There are some acrylic I really love and there are some cottons that I love as well. But if you want something breathable for summer choose cotton

Hello friend, so unfortunately this does happen sometimes especially depending on your tention even with both acrylic and cotton 😢. You can add a border to the waist band at the top, Iv notice that it stops it from stretching as much. But because hdc is more loops it just allows it to stretch out more. In the future size down keeping in mind that the shorts will stretch out. Thank you so much for watching, good luck ❤️❤️

Im not sure how it would turn out but it’s worth a try. You would benefit from an open waist band instead of closing it. Dont connect the shorts until you work the rise. Then the top will be open and you can corset the string through. That way you can open and close the waist part as needed. It’s up to you.

@@thecrochethermit would even 1-3 extra stitches make the shorts wavy? I was fighting for my life tryna figure out where to put stitches at the top of the rows as I have around 150 rows. I’m only on row 6 past the band so I can’t quite tell cuz when I smooth everything out it resembles a giant smiley face in shape. Hoping it’ll be fine because I need these in 18 days and really can’t start over again; this is my second attempt at making shorts because the last tutorial I used wasn’t as good as yours 😭

Wait woahhh I’m confused 109 rows ? What size yarn are you using and what hook ? . Give me your actually waist measurements and give me your hips. Also give me how many rows you did for you band. And how many stitches do you have currently after the increase.

@@thecrochethermit for my waist band I did about 150 rows(I didn’t count, just did a guesstimate by multiplying the number of holes x6…it’s waaayyy too many stitches to count 😭these shorts are probably the 2x the size you’re making in the video 🫠I’m using 4 weight yarn and a 5mm hook. My waist is 48” and my hips are 58”

So, the smiley face is completely normally especially if you working on a bigger size . If your estimate is correct you should have about 290 stitches. If your still on row #6 & it’s a slight wave I wouldn’t worry about it won’t be noticeable when you Wear them. But if you did happen to do TO MANY increases how we digested in the beginning & it’s big wrinkles , I would suggest turning it into a skirt . I know you said you didn’t want to start over, this is a solution to that & the waves will look nice in a skirt

Hi, I’m sorry I do not have a written pattern.

I did . The inseam is the length of your legs so at the time stamp 26:02 when I said “Continue working rows of hdc until you reach row #6 (OR) continue rows of hdc until you reach your inseam length “ “ if you want your shorts to be longer please work more rows “ that means if your following your own measurements continue working rows untill you reach the length you desire your shorts to be. Good luck ❤

Hi love, I’m so sorry to hear. In the future please try on your work as your crocheting every couple or rows, that way you can catch these things ahead of time. Crochet does stretch especially depending on the yarn. It can be a pain, trust me I understand.🥲

M, but every thing is adjusted for your own size . I recommend using this as a guide for your own measurements

Hi friend, I’m Not sure I understand your question. In the video I show you how to line the band up in the middle with your crochet hook 19:46

Hi thank you for your response so what im referring to is at 12:56 you have the slip stich seam only about two or three hdc away from the last hdc4, c2 ,hdc4 but later in the video it looks like the seam is even and is about 5 hdc away to make it even. So im not sure if i just saw this wrong but on my piece the seam isnt in the exact middle of the shorts(to get closer to my waist measurement) so should i split the shorts down the seam still or just shift to split down the aprox middle of where the first belt loop and last belt loop meet. Hope this clarifies my question a bit more thank you again :)

Hi friend. Okay I understand. When I said the part you slip stitch close should be in the middle, I wasn’t referring to it being in the middle of the rows with ch2. That really doesn’t matter. You want to make sure that the slip st part is in the middle like adjusting your shorts to make sure it’s directly in the middle, and not on the side. But yes shift it to the apex, that way when you wear your shorts that slip st part is in the back. I hope that helps. Good luck friend 💙

I really hope I didn’t make that sound confusing so to simplify it , yes you will spilt it from the slip st . ( in between first and last row in your waist band )

Do you have the same number of stitches with the same number of rows in the band they have to match? Also try not to place the stitches to close , try to have a loser tension when your placing the stitches into the waists band. Hope that helps

Instead of placing your measuring tape in the front, you’re gonna place it in the back, same way just in the back

🤞🏾🤞🏾

Na true

Does the stitch count match the waist band ?

When you first start working your single crochet into the waist band if you work more then the rows you have in the waist band the shorts will wave up,

Omg thank you! Let me go back and count it and get it fixed
