What A Life shorts are worked in stockinette stitches, and 2 pieces and then grafted together at mid front and mid back.
Lefthand side and righthand side of the shorts are worked separately top down, each in 2 colours using intarsia technique when changing between the colours.
To create an oblique crotch seam, increases are worked in different intervals on each side of each piece.
Then work is then divided, and each leg is finished separately with short rows to create a rounding at the bottom of each leg.
Left and right side of the shorts are sewn together along the sides and inner seam of the legs are also sewn with mattress stitches.
All stitches are bound off with an I-cord.
Stitches are picked up along the cast on edge, and waistband is worked in twisted rib with a wide elastic band pulled through.

Embracing life, tasting all the fruits of the garden and experiencing all the colours of the rainbow, this was the designer’s inspiration for the colour scheme of these beautiful summer shorts, with a cut and fit that invites you to play, move and enjoy life to the fullest.
These shorts matches perfectly with the Joyride top.
