Description
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Farrah Shorts are knitted from the top down in garter stitch. You start by knitting the waistband, then the body, and then the legs, which are shaped partly using short rows. Next, knit the belt and the belt loops. Finally, add the eyelets to the waistband.
SIZES
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL
Sizes above correspond with the following measurements :
- Waist Circumference:
60-64 (64-68) 68-72 (72-76) 76-80 (80-84) 84-88 cm - Hips Circumference:
86-90 (90-94) 94-98 (98-102) 102-106 (106-110) 110-114 cm.
Measure your own waist and hips circumference to determine which size will fit you the best.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, for example: your waist measurement corresponds to size S and your hip measurement corresponds to size M, knit to a size that corresponds to your hips measurement.
Photos above: I’m wearing size XS / 168 cm tall / Waist: 67 cm – Hips: 87 cm
MEASUREMENTS
The Farah Shorts have a negative ease of 13 cm at the waist and a positive ease of 10 cm at the hips. This means that once finished, your shorts will be approximately 13 cm smaller than your waist measurement and about 10 cm wider than your hip measurement.
The ease mentioned above is already included in the pattern instructions.
YARNS AND MATERIALS
Approx 250 (250) 300 (350) 400 (450) 450 g of Merino from Copenhagen Fibers/Hobbii (100% Wool, 50g = 108m)
- Crochet hook 4 mm [US G/6 – UK8]

- A belt buckle. The inside of the buckle should measure 5.4 cm in height and 3 cm in length.
It’s not a problem if you find a belt buckle with a different length; the most important thing is the height, which should be close to or exactly 5.4 cm. (I bought my belt buckle on decocuir.com) - Elastic for the waistband, about 4 to 5 cm in width, and approximately the same length as your waist measurement.
- Tapestry needle
