ABOUT PATTERN

needles. Start your work with a provisional cast-on, first work
the body back and forth in twisted 1/1 rib stitch, then continue
to work the body in the round until legs separation and continue
the legs in the round. Finally work the buttonband and the
waistand.
The shorts are made of linen, they are very light and
comfortable to wear.

choose a darker color if you mind.
