𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡

CALINA is your dreamy summer essential — playful maritime stripes in three shades of blue with crisp white edges, made for sunny days and carefree moments at the beach. The soft cotton worked in half double crochet gives these shorts an airy drape and a wearing comfort that feels like a second skin on warm days.

The shorts are worked from the top down. You start with a stretchy ribbed waistband, then pick up stitches and crochet the body in the round with gentle increases for a flattering, softly flared line. At the crotch the work divides and each leg is finished separately with a clean white edge. No complicated shaping, no seaming headaches — just relaxing rounds of color.
