"Lounging My Best Life" Shorts

Written for a standard gauge (4.5mm) flat bed knitting machine. For the hand knitting version of this design, see my "Keep Dreaming" pattern!

You will be living your best life when you are lounging around in these adorable knitted shorts! Cute, cozy, and comfortable, there is everything to love about this classic design. All season round these shorts are guaranteed to be a go to for when you’re relaxing to the max, and you’ll look stylish while you’re at it too ;).

This design is totally customizable with options to knit a regular or picot hem, make the inseam any length that is comfortable for you, to make the waistband as long as you like, and to add optional eyelets for a knitted drawstring. The waistband is knitted at a smaller tension so that it will be snug on your waist so you won’t need to insert elastic or use an actual drawstring, with a super stretchy join and bind off to ensure they fit over your hips.

Enjoy!
