R3: Join yarn C into any st sp. Ch2 as 1st htc. (htc, ch2, 2htc) into same ch-1 sp. Dc into next 2 ch-1 sp. Repeat [ (2htc, ch2, 2htc), 2 dc] 3 times. Join with ss. (24 st)

Step-4

R4: ss into ch-2 sp. Ch2 as 1st htc. (htc, ch2, 2htc) into same ch-2 sp. Htc into next 5 st sp. Repeat [(2htc, ch2, 2htc), 5 htc] 3 times. Join with ss. (36 st)

Repeat 3 more times to make a total of 4 panels.

Step-3

A A

B B

C C

BBB BBB BB BB

CCC CCC CC CC

STEP 3: With the two 3×3 panels side-by-side, Insert stitch marker into top LHS ch-2 space and top RHS ch-2 sp of each. Insert another stitch marker into the ch-2 sp of Square C on both pieces.

Step-8

Sew together on WS using invisible join between stitch markers, leaving an open seam between squares C of both sides.

Step-9

Repeat with remaining two 2×2 panels.

Step-11

STEP 5: The last two C squares will create the legs and gusset of the shorts. These squares will create leg holes by joining the front and back of the work like a little bridge. Use your stitch markers to line up your squares before sewing if you are unsure. (see pic)

Step-12

Start with the LHS. Take 1 square and insert stitch markers into top and bottom LHS ch-2 sp of both the square, and also the top and bottom RHS ch-2 sp of the open seamed square on work.

Step-13

Sew together between stitch markers WS facing with invisible join. Turn work over and repeat on the back side of the shorts.

Repeat on RHS leg with final square.

Now join the open top edges of both these squares to form the gusset by sewing WS facing with invisible join.
