This design is totally customizable with options to knit a regular or picot hem, make the inseam any length that is comfortable for you, to make the waistband as long as you like, and to add optional eyelets for a knitted drawstring. The waistband is knitted at a smaller tension so that it will be snug on your waist so you won’t need to insert elastic or use an actual drawstring, with a super stretchy join and bind off to ensure they fit over your hips.

I had so much fun designing this pattern and I hope you enjoy it!
