Materials Needed:

Stitch markers
Scissors
Tape measure

Getting Started:

Measure Hips: Chain enough stitches to fit snugly around your hips. For example, the creator used 150 stitches.
Form a Round: Flatten the chain and slip stitch into the beginning chain to work in the round.

Body of the Shorts:

This project is worked in a multiple of five.
The pattern consists of a two-row repeat: a row of fan stitches and a row of V-stitches.

Row 1: Fan Stitch Row

Skip two stitches.
In the third stitch, make eight double crochets.
Skip the next two stitches.
In the third stitch, single crochet.

Repeat this pattern (skip two, eight double crochets, skip two, single crochet) around the row.
At the end of the row, skip two stitches, single crochet in the third, skip the last two stitches, and slip stitch into the first double crochet to end the row.

Row 2: V Stitch Row

Slip stitch up to the fourth double crochet.
Chain three.
In the previous row's single crochet space, make a double crochet, chain three, and another double crochet to form a V-stitch.
Chain three.
Single crochet in the center of the fan (between the fourth and fifth double crochet).

Repeat this pattern (chain three, V-stitch in the single crochet space, chain three, single crochet in the center of the fan) around the row.
At the end of the row, chain three, make the last V-stitch, chain three, and slip stitch at the base of the initial chain to end the row.

For Row 3: Repeat Row 1

Eight double crochets into each V-stitch.
Single crochet into the top of the single crochet from the previous row.

Row 4: Repeat Row 2

Repeat Row 2.

Continue Pattern:

Repeat Rows 3 and 4 (fan stitch row and V-stitch row) until the desired length is reached.
For shorts, continue until the pattern reaches the desired crotch point. The creator made 14 rows, which measured 9 inches unstretched.
End on a V-stitch row.

Creating the Legs:

Fold the piece in half and mark the center.
Work around one leg at a time, continuing the established pattern.
Work one row of fan stitches, one row of V-stitches, and another row of fan stitches for each leg.
