Crochet summer shorts with me | Relaxed tutorial

[@melaniesamaroo]

I LOVE CROCHET WITH ME/ TEACHING WHILE CROCHETING BECAUSE I WATCH WHILE CROCHETING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. It feels like we’re in a crochet club

[@morganlance88]

I love this style video too, a lot of the tutorials I've watched are soooooo slow 😅

[@Bekkmyster]

I have never seen your tik tok as I don't use the app but I would love for you to keep making videos. You're quite talented.

[@roniqueasia]

i've been looking for a tutorial on these shorts. Thank you sm! Going to try it out and be back in about a week

[@BR3AD_VR]

[@BR3AD_VR]

thank you so much for responding to my comment

[@mylouegacha5602]

One thing about me is that I hate crochet patterns that are videos for some reasons they annoy me but those shorts were so pretty I couldn't resist and now I'm in love with your videos. Thank you so much

[@maggiebenware7348]

Came from your top tutorial on yt and your vids are so fun and helpful I hope you continue!! You’re so easy to follow and I made my very first piece thanks to your help. Would love to see a bag or more light weight summer fits!

I totally understand. I'm a visual learner as well ❤🌹

[@Streamlulu]

Starting these can’t wait 🥰🥰

[@aamaillet7]

I've been watching Bridgerton, Law and Order: SVU, and New Girl while crocheting recently. I'm not sure if you've done this before but maybe you could make a granny square tote bag tutorial (including showing how to stitch together)!

[@aamaillet7]

I looked at your channel after commenting this and I feel so silly, maybe you could do a skirt tutorial!

[@Fromme2006]

Can't wait to see more of your video I also loved that your dog is called Fred as I have a rabbit named Fred lol 😂❤

[@naomilind1989]

This is perfect! Can't wait to make a pair!💖

[@leniscrochet]

thank you so much! i hate my voice and accent normally so this means so much🫶🏻

[@aloegarden]

i was going to say the same!! this was like a crochet tut and asmr video in one

[@saffronsky8178]

Hia, I've just found your channel and I'm enjoying it. I agree that you have a lovely voice. Can I hazard a guess that you're from Pembrokeshire? I grew up there and find the accent very familiar and comforting. ​@@leniscrochet

[@amyaann744]

Im working on these now!! (white and pastel pink and purple yarn so excited!!) But I would love to see a pattern for a light sweater. If you've seen the viral evil eye sweater I mean something like that but a bit different. I really like the style and I've made it already but I like to see it with maybe a flower or something instead of the eye would be so cute!

[@ellenmatzke8509]

just came from ur tiktok these are sooo cuteeeee

[@hollyeeve]

can’t wait to make these🩷

[@Streamlulu]

At the beginning rows after the waist, are you going into the top of each of the ridges going around or you’re also going in between the ridges. I’m a bit confused it’s hard to tell

[@heavenmoon9165]

Question! I’m new to crocheting so still learning some things. When you increase one row and then the next row you don’t, i was wondering if you crochet on the increase stitch in the next row or do you skip over it?

[@hailie8765]

You crochet the increase stitches on the no increase row

[@heavenmoon9165]

@@hailie8765 ok thank you so much!!

[@jrrose8777]

Ive been kinda trying them on as i go, i havent split them yet but i feel like in front is a good length but the backside is only halfway covering. Should i not worry about this and keep continuing cause itll fix when i split it?

[@carla6354]

I am doing them as well and I had the same question, but I kept going and now I have already split them and finished one leg and it covers the back side perfectly (in the video she makes 5 rows per leg but I did 7 to make sure I was comfortable with the length of the back), keep trying them on to check your progress and see how you like it!

[@aliensyd9346]

How can i tell when the length is right to start adding the leg holes? (Ik it depends also if u want high or low waist, but i mean for the bottom part…) Like should it be reaching the bottom of my butt when i start adding the leg holes?

[@katiee1319]

I know you are asking the creator but it's honestly wherever you feel most comfortable adding it. I'm making these, & I don't want the leg holes to be too far up because it would just be like a forever wedgie... you need to give a bit of room for movement. So all I can say is try them on as you go.. sit down in them, try squatting, laying down, or any other things you would usually do.

[@caitlincoffie8671]

personally I waited until the front covered my cooter cat, the shorts were a good length in the front but the back didn't cover as much as the front did but I didn't mind it.

[@danielajohnson1993]

are these beginner friendly? trying to get into crocheting 🥰

[@noxylie0903]

Id say to look into a more detailed tutorial

[@dahliawbu]

literallyyy losing my mind trying to connect the two ends of the waistband, i feel like that part should be one of the easy parts but im struggling

[@qtnmissagb9782]

What hook did you use because I follow your instructions and my pant look so big

[@niamhward1259]

4mm

[@samanthahunter723]

Did you make your blue sweater? If not I'd love to know where you bought it!

[@Skibbidoobop]

How the flip did you make the line/crease through the middle :(

[@grace-yv8gj]

by chaining and connecting to the other side

[@mareehanoor738]

@@grace-yv8gj from the middle, youre supposed to chain to the other side and just crochet it around?

[@Jadapearly]

⁠​⁠@@mareehanoor738 I’m sorry if this sounds dumb but what do you mean exactly? I keep restarting my shorts because the seam isn’t a straight line. Also do I chain 1 then turn the whole way down?

[@spicypigeon101]

@@Jadapearlychain 1 and turn every row

[@anneee099]

what do you do if when you divide the number by 4 and it ends up not being a total number (e.g 16.5 instead of 18)

[@JOURNAL52828]

What stch is it for the 4 rows at the top

[@Ienasedits]

I think the first 4 rows is double crochet and then the fifth row is the increase on the sides and then normal again and then you repeat

[@sarahsarah5070]

Where’s your blue sweater from? 😍

[@Maloothi]

When ur doing the leg part do u still increase??

[@leniscrochet]

you can if you want to but i didn’t in this video!

[@Maloothi]

@@leniscrochet okayy thank youu!!

[@Re-yh6kr]

Bro mine has a tail at the back 😭😭 scrapped it and stating again for the 4th time 😓

[@saksenhathaway2208]

What weight yarn did you use?

[@mctuber187]

how much yarn did you use for this?? i can’t wait to make them!!

[@leniscrochet]

i used about 350g in the end i think!

[@issieshaw3841]

Coup anyone tell me an approximate mass for how much yarn they used for these shorts coz I’m not sure how high to buy

[@Liya1511]

I have bought Four white Balls and Four red Balls! It turned out to be wayyyyy to much! I used some hello Cotton yarn and I think 3 of each Color (i used red and white) would have been enough☺️ hope this helps!

[@emely_pnrs]

@@Liya1511how many grams were your yarn balls?

[@Demonic_Kitty0]

Ive got so far on the shorts. But...my seam is not straight. Do i do something wrong?

[@leniscrochet]

did you turn your work or just work around in circles as you’re meant to turn your work!

[@jollyrancher0703]

My crochet clothes end up pretty stiff, is it because i use acrylic yarn?

[@trinity3178]

you must just have really tight tension, or you are using a small hook. a wash should fix it, look on ur yarn packaging to see if you can put it in the washing machine or not. (if not hand wash!)

[@lu_bonic]

did you block these shorts afterwards??

[@FaunaLivKornumAndersen]

how much yarn did you use?

[@leniscrochet]

about 250g!

[@FaunaLivKornumAndersen]

@@leniscrochetthank you!

[@SianOulton-f2d]

I used the same size yarn but a 3.5mm hook and it turned out really holy, like I can see the underwear through the shorts, how do I fix it please someone help😭😭

[@mateenyousaf2294]

it might be your tension maybe try making the stitches tighter with your tension if that makes sense, or just try a 4 mm hook

[@chanklinesk7704]

You might have your just unravel it all and start over. The comment above is correct, try using the corresponding hook size that’s on the yarn

[@cydneygriffin2059]

Try using linked double crochet stitches

[@Streamlulu]

My line the back is diagonal instead of straight down 😫

[@jrrose8777]

Same 😭😭

[@Streamlulu]

@@jrrose8777 I ended up redoing it now it’s straight down 😂 I started one ch off at the beginning of the waist

[@niamhward1259]

when you reach the end of a row, chain one, then turn your work, if you carry on going round and round, that is what will make your shorts look "diagonal"

[@Streamlulu]

@@niamhward1259 hey I had ended up re doing it idk what I was doing wrong but I figure it out I’ve already made 2 shorts 🤗

[@aegyochingu]

How to make your stitches increase?I can't understand how is that😭😭

[@leniscrochet]

you place two dc in one stitch!

[@jollyrancher0703]

My crochet clothes end up pretty stiff, is it because i use acrylic yarn?

[@AreseSylvester-f1y]

Might also be your tension. Try sizing up a hook

[@jollyrancher0703]

My crochet clothes end up pretty stiff, is it because i use acrylic yarn?

[@leniscrochet]

it could be yes but that doesn’t mean you need to stop using acrylic, id just recommend blocking or steaming the clothes so they’re less bunched up and that should solve the stiffness issue!
