Knitted "Breezy Day Shorts" Pattern

Who doesn't love to knit for babies? It is so much fun. And when my friends tell me someone in their family is expecting, I start thinking about a new design. I love to make them something special. Something no one has yet.
My friend will have a baby closer to the fall - when the weather is changing all the time. When hot days replace cool days or nights. When babies may need something warmer, but still semi-summery. With all that on my mind, I designed these tiny shorts (and then knitted socks to go with them).

As I was working on my design, I recorded my progress not only on the paper but I videotaped the knitting tutorial as well. And here I am sharing my project with you.

You will need 1 skein of DK yarn. If you would like to knit socks also then you will need a few more yards of the second skein.

The shorts may be slightly big for a newborn, but perfectly fine on a 3 months old baby. However, some babies are born bigger than others, so keep that in mind.
There is a FREE PATTERN for baby socks on THIS PAGE

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
