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!

    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

    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.

    The granny squares WOULD provide nice ventilation!

    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.

    these would be perfect for Burning Man

    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.

    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 .

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

  26. Eva T says

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

    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

    Long live Regretsy!

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

Pencil Cross Stitch Patterns

Last year I shared my cute pencil cross stitch bookmark pattern, so I thought this year maybe I would look for more pencil cross stitch patterns to celebrate back to school or the writer in your life. 

If you’re looking for a fancier version of a pencil bookmark, check out this pretty one from Embrovera. It has pretty flowers and hearts around the pencil with a stitched border. It measures 27 by 86 stitches and comes out to 1.9 by 6.1 inches, or 4.9 by 15.6 cm, stitched on 14 count fabric. 

Speaking of flowers, there’s also this floral pencil cross stitch design from Oh My Stitches Shop. The pencil is black on this one but you could make it any color you like. It measures 37 by 102 stitches and uses 17 colors. On 14 count fabric it is 2.36 by 7.08 inches, or 6.71 by 18.5 cm. 

If you want to stitch a pencil that’s a cute teacher gift for back to school, try this one from Daily Cross Stitch, which features a pencil stretched into a heart shape and a heart shaped eraser. It calls for 11 colors and is 65 by 52. On 14 count fabric that comes to 4.64 by 3.71 inches, or 11.78 by 9.42 cm. 

There’s also this cute chubby pencil with the word learn from Stitch Gallery PDF that would be cute for a teacher (or a homeschool classroom). It looks like it uses five colors and the designer suggests using a piece of fabric that’s around 7 inches/17.6 cm square for this project. 

How about a teeny tiny pencil cross stitch pattern? This one from Bella Rose Craft also includes a wee apple design, and these mini patterns would be cute as a necklace or keychain charm. And at 7 by 13 stitches you can finish this one up in no time. 

Stitch the pencil alone or with this cute collection of school supplies that includes a glue bottle, crayons and calculator. The pattern is from sosacaetano, and it would be so cute for a classroom or stitched on a card. The full design as show is 6 by 1.75 inches (15.24 by 4.44 cm) on 14 count fabric.
