A compilation of 10 amazing crochet shorts patterns that are perfect for summer and the warmer weather. Quick and easy to make, you will look stylish in any of these crochet shorts.
I must admit I do not wear skirts or dresses very often. However, in summer you need something lighter and shorter to wear. This is where crochet shorts come in super handy.
I love how simple and quick crochet shorts are to make! They work up quickly so you can have a new pair of shorts every other day.
The patterns I have chosen today are amazing. They not only give you instructions for set sizes, but they also give you “recipe” type instructions.
This means that if you are feeling adventurous and are willing to take a couple of basic measurements, you can make completely custom-fitting shorts! How cool is that? These patterns will guide you through the process step by step.
Some of these crochet bottoms are made all in one piece crocheted in the round. The other patterns are constructed from sewing two separate pieces together.
The great thing about crocheting shorts in rounds is that you can try them on as you make them. If you make two separate pieces, it is easier to adjust the size of the shorts.
