Free pattern: Knit shorts for boys or girls

Stephanie from The Crafty Kitty shares a free pattern at Birch Fabrics blog for these kids knit shorts. They’re longer shorts, coming nearly to the knee, with a faux fly and an elastic waist. They’re quick to sew up. Make ’em for boys or for girls, cause they’re a unisex style. Her free pattern fits ages 2-5, or you can purchase the full pattern to fit ages 2-9 plus a trousers length.
