NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

This Athleisure Crochet Pants pattern features techniques such as short rows for a higher back, single crochet in front loop only, and increases.

The pants are worked in two identical pieces, stitched together at the end.

The waistband is worked after assembling around the shorts’ edge in the round. The waistband is doubled to insert the elastic band and the cord.

How much yarn do you need?

I used Basic Merino from Katia Yarns, in colors 12 - Grey and 32 - Grey Blue. This yarn composition is 52% Merino super washed and 48% acrylic. One ball has 50 grams and is approximately 120 meters.
I used almost the same amount of each color.
For each size, you will approximate need in total: 1272 (1320, 1368, 1536, 1584, 1704, 1776, 2064) meters.
