Another Brick In The Wall Shorts Knitting Pattern (English)
Another Brick In The Wall Shorts are worked top-down. The waistband is worked in Stockinette, folded and worked together as a double layer, making room for the elastic band. The jacquard technique starts here, and short rows are worked back and forth in order to shape the back of the shorts. The increases along the centre seams back and front are placed with different intervals for a perfect shape. The legs are finished separately and finished with a ruffle hem.
The shorts are meant to have a negative ease of 0-8 cm. This means you should choose a size 0-8 cm smaller than your hip measurement. If you have a hip measuring 102 cm you should choose a size M with a hip width of 100 cm.
