literally decided to knit shorts yesterday but had no idea how ugh ur mind perfect timing
YAAAAAY!! excited for ur new shorts :)
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.
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!
i’m glad our brains think alike :)
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
i’m a crochet-er first so your videos have been a godsend when it comes to cutie patterns i can learn from as i go. ALSO! you’re so!! gorg and every time i watch you my bf and i are in disbelief you’re not aubrey plaza herself loolll. thx for the tut bae you’re killin it ❤
i’m so glad u like the videos ☺️ it is hard to switch between knitting brain and crocheting brain but once u get the hang of it it’s soooo amazing! thank u so much for the kind words 🤍 hehe
They look so so cute!! 😍
thank you
these are SO CUTE omg i will be making them. thank you for the inspo and tutorial
yay!! thanks for watching 🤍
I love putting your videos on in the background when I knit! I did stop my knitting to see your end result though, they look great 😊
thanks for hanging out with me while you work on your projects!! ☺️
I did npt know I wanted to do a short/pant knitting, but now I wanna.
I’ve literally been following ur ig for soooo freakin long and never knew you had a channel??!!! I luuuuvvvvv all the knit stuff you do and I’m so excited to do these shorts!! Yayyyy thank u for making vids
AWH YAY Thanks for joining me on youtube
You look soo cute😽can't wait to knit this when I have time❤
I really likes this design of shorts!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this🥹
thank you for watching 🤍
such a helpful tutorial, tysm!! also i love your hair, you’re super pretty girl!
thank you love
I made these and love just bought more yarn to nake like 3 more pairs lol also you’re so pretty you remind me of Sydney Sweeney so much like the way you talk too❤
heyyy great video as always also i like the music choices
thank you so much! 🤍 i take longer than u think picking out the music 😉 so i’m glad u like it!
I love it! I kinda wanna make one now lol
yessssss do it! :)
LOVE ALL UR VIDEOS!!! I’m a crocheter but you’ve inspired me to learn how to knit! Just bought my first pair of knitting needles… wish me luck :-) xoxo
GOOD LUCK!! you're gonna have so much fun :) lmk if you need any help love!
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. ❤️
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?
i love the colour combo you used! also unrelated but the throw you have on your sofa looks like the blanket from that selena gomez meme that's been going around lol
WAIT HAHA I JUST LOOKED IT UP A
hi! are you doing any German short rows or specific increases for the back of the shorts?
What size are the shorts and how many skiers of yarn do u need??
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
oooo I'll have to check it out! sounds like another good method! :) thanks for letting me know
it's not overraction with i say , u save my life ?bc u actully save my life 😗
ILY
so i was knitting (like 15 row in) and totally forgot to do 2 inc front and 2 back so now i hove to re do it 😭😭😭😭 i'm so dumb
you should get some knitting barber cords for easy try on!
definitely want to buy some soon! I never knew what those were used for so thank you for the tip!! :)
Been looking for a cute knit short tutorial forever!! Is it possible to make these low rise?
yesss!! just measure at where u want them to sit or don’t pull the elastic as tight :)
I wanna knit pants for me to chill with at home so I’m gonna use this pattern
doooooo it! & let me know how it goes! i’ve been wanting to knit pants recently as well :)
@@minigru.studios will definitely let you know☺️
Wasn't it too difficult to knit with two strands of cotton? The last time I tried, the yarn got very tangled.
ooo! I would make it if i had circular needles!
they sell them everywhere you should get a pair :) I use them for all types of projects hehe!!
got em! ill start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looove these and really want to make them. Is it possible to make it a long pants, just continuing knitting the legs? Or do you think it would be too big on the legs? Hope you can help. Xx
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!
hello! are there any types of decreases you recommend for the shorts? im planning on making the shorts tighter around my thighs. also thank you for the easy and informative pattern!
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
@@minigru.studios alright ill try that out! thank you ☺
is this beginner friendly bc ik how to do the basic stitch like knit and pearl and i rlly want to make these😭😭
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!
LOVE YOUR GLASSES 13:20 !! Do you have a name for them?
they’re from Hip Optical!! the Kiro frames :)
Do u need round needles to do this?
yes for this specific tutorial! :)
Oh, I need 6.5 or 7 mm needles? Which I don't currently have? Hmm...the current yarn stash which I'm using might also not suffice. I GUESS I just have to VISIT THE CRAFT STORE. AGAIN. WHAT A SHAME...
ooooooops 🤭 too bad you have to go AGAIN and look at all the fun stuff there
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. 💖🙌😺
