My waist is 25” and hip is 34” so I chose to size down!

Waist Measurement to fit: 23-24 (25-27, 28-30, 32-34, 36-38) (40-42, 44-45, 46-47, 49-50)”

Hip measurement to fit: 33-34 (35-36, 38-40, 42-44, 46-48) (52-53, 54-55, 56-57, 61,62)”

Shorts are knitted in the round for the waist band. Hips are knitted flat with short rows for the pockets then join in the round. Each leg also has short rows so that the inner side is slightly longer than the outer side.

Needle Used: 2.5mm, 3.25mm & 3.5mm(optional needle to use when casting on so it will not be too tight)

Meters used: 690 (780, 880, 950, 1010) (1100, 1200, 1270, 1360) This is just a rough estimation based on my testers, you may require more or less depending on the material you used as well
