From Pattern Notes:


“Inspired by the unlikely combination of Thai fisherman’s pants and memories of 70s roller derby fashion, these hot pants are a great way to show off your assets and show a little pride.



A rundown on the design features of these hip little shorts:



* »Low-waisted, super short, totally gay, rainbow hot pants with sassy tie-front closure.

* »Uses simple mixture of knit & crochet stitches.

* »Knit from the top down in 4 stockinette panels, then edged & joined using single crochet.

* »Waistband built up on top of joined stockinette panels in simple single crochet rows.

* »Tie front closure created using picked up stitches along top of sc waist band using seed stitch.

* »Bottom edge of shorts left in unedged stockinette for a sexy little upcurl.

* »Body-conforming shaping done 2 stitches in from edge to form clean selvage for seaming.“
