SHORTS:
Work in the round top down.
Work 244-274-299-329-369-404 chain stitches with Safran on hook size 2.5 mm and form a
ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch. Insert 1 marker thread at beginning of round = mid
back.
Work first round as follows: Work 1 chain stitch (= 1 single crochet) - read CROCHET INFO, 1
single crochet in each of the first 3 chain stitches, * skip 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet in each
of the next 4 chain stitches *, work from *-* 48-54-59-65-73-80 times in total = 196-220-240-
264-296-324 single crochets. Then work 1 single crochet in every single crochet until piece
measures 2 cm / ¾". REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE!
Now work in the round according to diagram A.1 as follows: Work A.1a (shows how rounds begin
and end and is worked in addition to A.1b), work A.1b 49-55-60-66-74-81 times in total in
width. Continue until A.1a/b have been worked vertically.
Then work the shorts higher in the back as follows: Work 10-11-12-13-14-15 single crochets
past the marker thread mid back, turn and work 1 slip stitch in first stitch, then 1 single crochet
in each of the next 19-21-23-25-27-29 single crochets, turn and work 1 slip stitch in first stitch,
then 1 single crochet in each of the next 29-31-35-38-41-44 stitches (slip stitches are also
worked). Continue like this by working 10-11-12-13-14-15 stitches more on every turn until a
total of 140-154-192-208-224-240 stitches have been worked. Turn again and work until marker
thread mid back.
Now work in the round as follows: Work 1 double crochet in each of the first 47-53-58-64-72-79
stitches (= half back piece), A.2 over the next 5 single crochets (= the side), work 1 double
crochet in each of the next 92-104-114-126-142-156 stitches (= front piece), A.2 over the next
5 single crochets (= the side), work 1 double crochet in each of the last 47-53-58-64-72-79
stitches (= half back piece).
Continue pattern like this (then repeat last round in A.2) - AT THE SAME TIME increase in the
sides and mid back as follows:
SIDES:
Increase on each side of A.1, in each side as follows - read INCREASE TIP-1! Increase like this
every 3rd-4th-4th-4th-4th-4th round 9-8-8-9-9-10 times in total (= 36-32-32-36-36-40 double
crochets increased).
MID BACK:
When piece measures 15-16-17-19-20-22 cm / 5⅞"-6 ¼"-6⅝"-7⅜"-7⅞"-8⅝" (measured mid
front), increase mid back as follows – read INCREASE TIP-2. Increase like this with 2 double
crochets mid back on every round 4-8-10-10-10-10 times in total, then increase 4 double
crochets on every round 5-3-3-3-3-3 times in total (= 28-28-28-32-32-32 double crochets
increased).
When all increases are done there are 260-280-300-332-364-396 double crochets on round.

Continue with 1 double crochet in every double crochet until piece measures 22-24-26-28-30-32
cm / 8⅝"-9⅜"-10 ¼"-11"-11 ¾"-12 ½" mid front and 26-28-31-33-35-37 cm / 10

on round, turn and work back over the first 10-10-12-12-12-14 double crochets (i.e. 5-5-6-6-6-
7 double crochets on each side of marker thread mid back). These 10-10-12-12-12-14 double
crochets = gusset. Work double crochets back and forth over these double crochets for 10-11-
12-13-14-15 cm / 4"-4⅜"-4¾"-5⅛"-5½-6", cut the thread. Fasten gusset edge to edge to the
middle 10-10-12-12-12-14 stitches towards mid front. Then work leg.
LEG:
Work 1 double crochet in each of the 115-125-133-149-165-179 double crochets around one
leg, work in addition A.3 (= 7 double crochets) over A.2 and work 26-28-32-34-36-38 double
crochet along gusset = 148-160-172-190-208-224 double crochets. Then work 2-2-3-3-4-4
rounds with double crochets - on last round increase 8-8-8-2-8-4 double crochets evenly – read
INCREASE TIP-3 = 156-168-180-192-216-228 double crochets.
Now work in the round according to diagram A.4 as follows: Work A.4a (shows how rounds begin
and end and is worked in addition to A.4b/c), work A.4b 77-83-89-95-107-113 times in total,
A.1d. Continue until A.4a/b/c are done vertically = 156-168-180-192-216-228 double crochets.

and end and is worked in addition to A.5b/c), A.5b, A.5c 12-13-14-15-17-18 times in total, and
A.5d. Continue until A.5a/b/c/d have been worked vertically. Fasten off. Work the other leg the
same way.
