 Line's cuddly shorts
 The shorts are knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch. You start by knitting a nice folded edge, then knit reverse rows to get a good fit. Increases are evenly distributed in the pants to achieve width and decreases on the trouser legs. The entire shorts are knitted in stockinette stitch, except for the round with purl stitches to get a nice, distinctive folded edge. The folded edge on the legs is knitted double, before it is folded and sewn. Knit an i-cord finish if you wish. At the very end, knit a long i-cord cord that you thread into the folded edge.

 It is a good idea to knit a test piece before you start to check that the knitting tension is correct. Note that the knitting tension is stated after rinsing.

 Sizes
 Waist measurements of approximately 63 - 67 (68 - 76) 78 - 84 (85 - 94) 95 - 106 cm correspond to size XS (S) M (L) XL. The shorts will adapt to the body, and it is important that the shorts fit well around the buttocks. I have therefore chosen to knit my shorts in size S. I measure 79 cm in the waist, and 90 cm in the hip measurement. The sizes correspond to standard European sizes. If you are in doubt about two sizes, I recommend going down one size. The shorts “grow” a little with use, approx. 4 - 6 cm.
