Silky Knitted High Waist Shorts




In the deep of Melbourne winter, huddling close to the warmth of the old gas heater I knitted these shorts. When I'd finished them they sat neatly folded for weeks before it was remotely warm enough to wear them for so much as a photo shoot.




The shorts are knitted with a gorgeous Japanese silk and wool blend that is slightly textured with a variegated tone. I worked them in the round to give a lovely seamless finish and I added just a little detail on the back to break up the straight stockinette stitch. Knitted shorts are fun, I can't wait to wear them more as the weather warms up.
