    When picking up stitches at seams, I would pretend like I dropped a stitch, and do the same thing I would with a dropped stitch. This helps to prevent the holes.

    thank you for how simply you communicate math and ratios (in both this video and your raglan sweater one).
    also not a pattern-follower generally, so it's so helpful to hear about the general rules in an intuitive way, and see how they translate to the finished project!

    Thanks for your video! I can’t work out how many stitches to cast on! I did the equation from my swatch but it ended up really big. I’m using bigger needles does that matter? I thought the equation and swatch would give the waistband measurement for me with that yarn and needles included. ❤️

      definitely can be pants! i would maybe do a little less increases but either way just experiment until you get something you like :) good luck!

    • @minigru.studios
      @minigru.studios  Місяць тому

      you could try decreasing every 2 or 3 rows instead of every other! then it won't grow "outward" as fast and will result in a tighter fit

      Hi!! the shorts use knit and purl stitches but I think to make these shorts you should also be comfortable knitting in the round and increases!! I would say once you have those things down give it a shot! good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

    Hi, Kait,
    First time on your channel__your shorts project brought me here. 😺
    If you want to learn a better way to knit that crotch area without big holes you should check out Suzanne Bryan's channel__she's a master knitter with all kinds of tutorials on how to improve our knitting skills, highly recommend! 😺
    I thought you did an excellent job with this 'not a pattern' template! 😛
    I think I'm gonna give it a go for longer shorts as well as lounge pants, as I'm an older woman. 😹
    Thanks for sharing your work with us. 💖🙌😺
