Sewing Pattern: Reversible Knit Knot Shorts

Rachel from Imagine Gnats shows how to make her Reversible Knit Knot Shorts. They’re knit shorts with knots at the side and, like the name suggests, they’re reversible. You’ll need your favorite shorts pattern – she’ll show how to adapt it to add the knots to the side and how to alter the construction order to make them reversible with no raw edges showing. Her tutorial is part of the Shorts on the Line series that she’s co-hosting with small + friendly. Go to Imagine Gnats for her tutorial.
