Introducing the “Retro Hippy Shorts” Pattern by Carroway Crochet inspired by a retro pattern I saw on Etsy. I have used acrylic yarn for the shorts pictured above.

The Retro Hippy Shorts are fun summer shorts. Perfect for festival outfits as well.

The Retro Hippy Shorts pattern is simple to make, and so on trend. You can make it with your choice of worsted weight yarn, either acrylic or cotton, just look for the number (4) on the yarn label.

It is an advanced beginner shorts pattern with easy to follow instructions. It uses the Double Crochet stitch with a granny square for the pocket. There are videos on my Carroway Crochet youtube channe to help you learn the double crochet stitch if needed. You are also more than welcome to contact me with any questions you have about the instructions.

This pattern uses any worsted weight yarn, (4)
You will need 1 skein of the main colour and three small amounts of contrasting colours for the trim at the bottom of each leg and for the granny square pocket. The contrasting colours will be Colour B, Colour C and Colour D when you read the instructions.
