"Ombre All Day" Shorts

Add a vibrant splash of color to your wardrobe with these delightful knitted shorts! Crafted with the soft and luxurious Knit Picks “Chroma Twist Worsted,” this stunning 2-ply yarn creates a beautiful gradient effect that is sure to catch the eye. With a wide variety of shades available, you can easily choose your favorite hue to express your personal style. Whether you're heading out for a casual day or relaxing at home, these knitted shorts are designed to turn heads while providing you with ultimate comfort!

These trendy knitted shorts are ingeniously constructed as one continuous piece, worked in the round from the top down. We utilize a smaller 3mm needle for the waistband, ensuring a snug fit around your waist without the need for additional support. After knitting the waistband, it is folded over and joined, with optional features to insert elastic or include eyelets for a stylish drawstring if preferred. The shorts are then knitted down to the crotch, where the legs are skillfully separated and knitted one at a time, allowing you to tailor the inseam length to your unique comfort level.

To achieve a polished finish, a fold-over bottom band is knitted and seamlessly joined to the inside of the shorts using a 3-needle bind off technique. This results in a professional-looking edge that enhances the overall quality of your handmade garment. Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, this pattern offers a fun and rewarding project that combines fashion with functionality. Upgrade your knitting repertoire and create a pair of eye-catching knitted shorts that you can enjoy for years to come!
