The Caitlin Shorts are a breezy, summer-inspired design — perfect for tossing over a swimsuit at the beach or throwing on to walk around town. Made with 100% cotton yarn and a crochet hook, they feature a breathable, lightweight fabric that’s ideal for warm weather.

The pattern is worked in three main sections: floral granny squares, a comfortable waistband, and easy-fitting legs. The result is a pair of fun, practical shorts with a touch of boho charm that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
This is a made-to-measure pattern, so you can create shorts that fit your body perfectly. Throughout the instructions, you’ll find helpful tips to guide you in customizing the fit, ensuring that your Caitlin Shorts are both flattering and comfortable.
