The Loulou Shorts are worked from top down on circular needles. Start your work with a provisional cast-on, first work the body back and forth in 1/1 twisted rib stitch, then continue to work the body in the round until legs separation then 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.
