When I started to knit the first (right) half of the shorts, I was writing the pattern down. Then I adjusted the pattern for the second (left) half as "a mirror image".
Should you use the pattern to knit these shorts, I would like to hear from you via comments - I hope you will not find any errors in the written pattern.
Please, this pattern is for your personal use only.
And YES, it is OK to share the link with the world. Happy knitting :-)
