Crochet Shorts for Men

December 21, 2014 by Vikram Goyal

Wow, just wow! Etsy brings out the best and umm.. the worse in crafters 🙂

If these crochet festival pants take your fancy, then you can certainly order them. Made from 100% recycled materials:

a vintage afghan blanket crocheted in the 70s-80s, and finished with a drawstring waist. Great for the Playa, Northern Soul nights, Disco parties, or just wearing every day! These one-of-a-kind pants can easily be worn by a man or a woman, great for Burning Man, after the slopes, or for morning yoga in the winter.

If that describes you, then head on over to the Etsy Shop.

Want to make your own? Check out these Crochet granny short patterns on Etsy and this fun ripple design pair of shorts for men.

These shorts make a great fun handmade gift for someone and are very popular for festival clothing too. You will be surprised by how many of the young folk would love to wear these. If you are using them for swimming then consider a cotton yarn. I just love how fun these shorts are!

    I need the pattern for the yellow and brown pair. It will make a good joke!

    Not the best use of patterns and colors…Makes men look like they cut up their favorite old lady crocheted quilts and made them into garments. Insulting to the patterns and use of the colors.

    Hmmmmm…. Eewwwwwwwwww

    God has given up on us.

    Paraphrasing Jerry Leadbetter, “I can say, that on the right occasion, this would be the perfect thing to wear.”
    Margo Leadbetter asks, “And what occasion would that be, Jerry?”

    Hardly an insult to the pattern, I can clearly see these were made for hippies, no need to be a negative Nancy.

    Someone wanna fill me in on what a “Burning Man” is? Lol…I just can’t stop laughing. And I will never be able to un-see this. This is worse than seeing a man in a Speedo. 😀

    *gasp* That DOES describe me!!!! But I’d rather have it in a skirt.

  12. Angie says

    January 8, 2015 at 9:51 pm

    Think I will go with EWWWWW….. also!

    If anyone would like me to make some of these, let me know! [email protected]

  15. Michael Popkins says

    January 11, 2015 at 11:30 am

    Hahaha! I would so wear them. Just to be goofy!

    The granny squares WOULD provide nice ventilation!

  18. kbm says

    Obviously no one here is a Burner or festival goer. Maybe it isn’t your style, but you could at least respect the creative expression.

  19. Crabbyrn says

    these would be perfect for Burning Man

  20. PlainJane says

    These are marvelous. Perfect Valentine’s Day gift. 🙂

    I LOVE them! I haven’t picked up a crochet hook in years and this may just be the inspiration I need to get back into it. No joke.

  22. Beverly Cotton Bochenek says

    January 15, 2015 at 10:51 pm

    And to think the yarn could have been used to make tea cozies…

  23. me says

    January 16, 2015 at 2:28 pm

    I want a pair.

  24. ang says

    January 17, 2015 at 3:42 pm

    Hippies would love probably. Different strokes for different folks .

  25. randy says

    January 18, 2015 at 11:07 am

    Hmm can make a matching beer can hat to go with it.

  26. Eva T says

    January 21, 2015 at 5:16 pm

    well they are certainly selling which is more than I can say for the items in my Etsy shop lol …not my style

  27. Debbie T says

    I have crocheted blankets in these patterns in the 60’s/70’s. In retrospect, however, I think the designs and color combos weren’t the best even back then…. In men’s shorts, definitely better ways to bring out your granny side like maybe using granny’s old drapes….

  28. Emma says

    January 22, 2015 at 8:17 pm

    Long live Regretsy!

    Not sure about Shorts for men, but I liked the idea of skirts for women.
