Meet your new favorite quick knit: a pair of snug booty shorts that come together faster than you’d think and teach you techniques you’ll reach for in every project after this one.

Fessounettes are built from the hem up with a rounded, no-pinch tubular cast-on, shaped through the bottom with German short rows that curve the fabric exactly where you need it, and finished with a hand-sewn bind-off that stretches right along with your ribbing.

This is the knitting pattern pattern that finally makes short rows, provisional cast-ons, and sewn bind-offs click. These are valuable techniques to know to improve your knitting, wrapped up in a small, satisfying, wildly cute project you can finish in a weekend.
