Are knitted shorts better than crochet shorts? I decided to conduct a little (but long) experiment.
*Instead of the "short rows" category, I think "fit" or "shaping" would have been a better name in hindsight.
These two shorts were my first ones ever. I figured my lack of experience would be a nice little control variable seeing as I had no prior experience of creating legged bottoms with yarn.
To make things a little more fair, I also attempted each pair with minimal preparation and no patterns or tutorials were followed in the making of this or the previous video!
In other words, I could have saved myself a whole bunch of time, but where would the fun be in that?
“Better” is an incredibly subjective term to use in this context, and as a short disclaimer, this is an opinion piece based on the tiny sample size of… my own experiences.
To see how the crochet version was made, here’s my previous video:

"Knit and crochet are two different languages and it´s cool that you can say the same things with them." Simply beautiful!
crochet is def easier than knitting but knitting garments looks way better than crocheting garments
Wouldn't say "definitely". It differs from person to person, for instance I cannot seem to get the hang of crochet, however I find knitting much easier and can do some of the most advanced patterns with ease. But I can barely make a crochet chain. 😂
i agree that’s why i forced myself to learn how to knit i just think the stitching looks so much fancier and high quality
I agree with so much!! I’ve been crocheting since I was a little girl but am very new to knitting and I’m nowhere near creating knitting patterns yet. I do love the simplicity of crochet and how quickly it works up, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the drape of a knit piece! I LOVE the elegance of knitted items, which is what drove me to learn in the first place.
I can definitely relate when it comes to learning one later than the other, and I agree they're both great for those reasons. It's so good to hear about embracing both! Thank you for sharing this! 😊
Please will you make a tutorial on how you knitted the shorts! 🥰🤗
what a masterpiece. the editing was on point. plus it was super educational
Crochet the shorts and knit the waistband. Best of both worlds
agreed :)
I'm nowhere near the level of knitting shorts yet, but why not crocheting the waistband and knitting the legs of the shorts? I'm more adept at crocheting but I envy the drapery of the knitted short in this video.
Literally what I am doing for mine rn!
For the crochet waistband, you could increase the number of stitches to make it taller. Once it's tall enough, you can fold it in half, insert the elastic, and close it by crocheting through both sides. I hope that makes sense!
Was totally on the same page! Tried the folded band with elastic first, but it ended up being way too bulky (I forgot to record it so didn't include it in the video 😔). It would have worked so well with a lighter yarn weight!
For crochet I find using a slip stitch on the edge makes it tighter and more stable. Ribbing often gets loose so I combat it with a slip stitch finish.
@@ZhadeLangI don't mind bulky, double crochet ribbed band feels amazing 😊
please make a tutorial on the knit shorts!
I REALLY NEED A TUTORIAL ON THE KNIT SHIRTS 🙃
Thanks for the try so now we can see both results!
Really glad you found it useful!
The big irony is that you could do another form of ribbing on the crochet one and it could look very similiar to knitting
Love the analysis that went into this video! So interesting to see how different the pairs came out despite being made with the same materials 😃
Really appreciate it! Thank you! 😊
I never comment but i have to say i love your channel. From the editing to the amazing garments you create. Also the ✨vibe ✨ your chanel has ❤️ can't belive you don't have more views
Thank you so much, this really means a lot 😭 I hope I can keep making videos that you enjoy ❤️
I loveee your commentary (and puns), I found myself laughing aloud xD
We need the tutorial for the knitted shorts pleasee🥺
next time to keep the elastic from fraying you could melt the edges with a lighter, bc it really does get annoying, I hate working with elastic bands lol
If you do a ridge stich the crochet fabric comes out more drapey while retianing structure
soooooo nice thank you
Thank you!
I've always thought knitting looks better than crochet but I can only crochet!!!😢
Knitting looks more put together like from a store not a craft project.
plEASE CAN YOU Make a tutorial For the knitted shorts :)
I might do a video on a similar project at some point!
PLEEEAAASE. There's like little to nothing on knitting 😭😭
love this tutrial! I've been looking for this exact knit short pattern and have found nothing. Would love to learn how you knit them! :) Keep us posted
Absolutely!! Agree with these comments!
eu PRECISO do tutorial desse short em tricô, seu vídeo chegou no BRASIL 🇧🇷 eu quero muito fazer um short igual ao seu
How did you make the crochet shorts?
hey there! i love your work and i'd love to make those knitted shorts. will you be releasing a pattern for them?
Thank you so much!! I'm working on the draft and hoping to release when it's ready 😊
@@ZhadeLang did you ever release it please??
God knitting is so hard, I am scared to try again lol I began with the goal to try learn to knit but switched to crocheting its very hard to fix dropped stitches for knitting so it's very discouraging for beginners
Can definitely relate on fixing dropped stitches when I first started. It does get better (if you ever want to try again)!
