I kept seeing knitted shorts around , and thought that they would be so cute to have for fall. Imagine them layered over tights - it's such a great look. So, on a whim I made these shorts out of an old, extra small sweater from polo ralph lauren. The pair isn't perfect, because I made them randomly and had very little fabric, so pay no mind to the different directions of the knit. I still love them, and wear them all the time. People are surprised when they see them, but they like the pair! Would you ever think to wear cable knit shorts?
I put this look together and will be wearing it tomorrow (today was the outfit in the previous post).

Hey there!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how you made the sweater shorts? I adore!?! Is the waistband the bottom of the original sweater? HELLLPPPPPP!!!
Hey!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I used the bottom of the original sweater as the waistband. I made them tight enough that I didn't need an elastic because the knit stretches so well. However, you can always add an easy one similar to those on sports shorts or sofies.
The bands at the bottom of the shorts, at the legs, are from the edges of the neck/sleeves of the sweater - they were the same size which was lucky.
