Modifications: About an inch below the rear waistband, I added three short rows with 4-5 rows knit in between each short row, to give the booty a little extra room.

With scrap yarn, I embroidered the flowers using stem stitch, lazy daisy and French knots (for the centers).

The drawstring is a repeated chain stitch, woven behind every knit stitch and over every purl stitch of the waistband.

This is by far my favorite soaker to date! I’m so happy with this pattern, and the short rows make for a fabulous fit.
