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

    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.

    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.

  19. Crabbyrn says

    these would be perfect for Burning Man

    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.

King Sophie’s World – Where Photography Meets Embroidery in a Stunning Art Evolution

In the world of modern art, creative boundaries are constantly being pushed, and one artist who is leading the charge in an innovative and inspiring way is Sophie, the mastermind behind King Sophie’s World. Sophie is redefining what it means to blend traditional needlework with contemporary art by combining her stunning photography with embroidery. If you haven’t heard of her yet, you’re in for a treat. Let’s take a closer look at how Sophie’s work is pushing the boundaries of art, one embroidered print at a time.

Sophie’s artistic journey is a fusion of two worlds: photography and embroidery. As an artist, she captures beautiful, thought-provoking photographs that evoke emotion and capture life’s fleeting moments. But Sophie doesn’t stop there. She then takes those images to the next level by adding her signature embroidery to everyday objects, creating a piece of art that is both striking and meaningful. These embroidered prints aren’t just photographs—they are a  intricate interpretation of her vision, 

This evolution of art, where photography and embroidery meet, is not just innovative; it’s a testament to the evolving ways in which artists are reimagining the classics and experimenting with new techniques. Sophie’s ability to seamlessly blend these two mediums shows just how far the art world has come—and it’s exciting to think about where it’s headed next.

Among the many stunning pieces in Sophie’s collection, her embroidered rose prints stand out as personal favorites. There’s something so striking about the combination of delicate flowers and bold, empowering words. The roses themselves are beautifully photographed, with intricate stitches capturing the softness and elegance of each petal. But it’s the juxtaposition of these gentle flowers with words that encourage strength and confidence that makes them so powerful.

Her rose embroidery prints feature sayings that resonate with many of us—quotes that inspire, uplift, and make us reflect on the importance of self-worth and empowerment. These aren’t just pretty flowers; they’re symbols of resilience, independence, and beauty, much like the women they represent. Every time I look at one of her pieces, it’s like a visual reminder of how we all need to embrace our inner strength and beauty.

What Sophie is doing with her embroidered prints is so cool because it’s a perfect example of how artists are adapting to and evolving with the times. She takes the age-old art of embroidery—something traditionally viewed as delicate and reserved for traditional or vintage works—and reinvents it. By combining it with photography, she breathes new life into both mediums.

Sophie’s work is proof that art doesn’t need to stay stagnant. It’s an ever-changing, ever-growing process that can take on new forms and new meanings. Through her embroidered prints, Sophie is showing the world how art can evolve and how we, as viewers, can continue to be surprised and inspired by these innovations.
