    When picking up stitches at seams, I would pretend like I dropped a stitch, and do the same thing I would with a dropped stitch. This helps to prevent the holes.

    I’ve always skipped the swatch bc it was so confusing but THIS WAS THE MOST HELPFUL WAY UVE SEEN you explained it pretty well and thorough THANK YOU SO MUCH

    thank you for how simply you communicate math and ratios (in both this video and your raglan sweater one).
    also not a pattern-follower generally, so it's so helpful to hear about the general rules in an intuitive way, and see how they translate to the finished project!

    Hey good video mine look a bit different though the seam is in a diffeent place for the rows I increased were you meant to increase one at the back and one at the front or 2 at the back and 2 at the front?

    kara's knit-eng has another method for adding an elastic waistband, working well with me for these shorts so far especially because i have elastic band on hand instead of shirring elastic

    Thanks for your video! I can’t work out how many stitches to cast on! I did the equation from my swatch but it ended up really big. I’m using bigger needles does that matter? I thought the equation and swatch would give the waistband measurement for me with that yarn and needles included. ❤️

      definitely can be pants! i would maybe do a little less increases but either way just experiment until you get something you like :) good luck!

    • @minigru.studios
      @minigru.studios  หลายเดือนก่อน

      you could try decreasing every 2 or 3 rows instead of every other! then it won't grow "outward" as fast and will result in a tighter fit

      Hi!! the shorts use knit and purl stitches but I think to make these shorts you should also be comfortable knitting in the round and increases!! I would say once you have those things down give it a shot! good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

    Hi, Kait,
    First time on your channel__your shorts project brought me here. 😺
    If you want to learn a better way to knit that crotch area without big holes you should check out Suzanne Bryan's channel__she's a master knitter with all kinds of tutorials on how to improve our knitting skills, highly recommend! 😺
    I thought you did an excellent job with this 'not a pattern' template! 😛
    I think I'm gonna give it a go for longer shorts as well as lounge pants, as I'm an older woman. 😹
    Thanks for sharing your work with us. 💖🙌😺
