Crochet Shorts for Men

by

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!

  3. To bad there’s not a pattern, be nice to share them, o well enjoy your money, it’s wrong, share why don’t Ya.

  5. 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.

  8. 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?”

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

  10. 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. 😀

  18. 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.

  21. 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.

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

  27. 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….
