For my first official crochet project, I decided to follow a YouTube tutorial posted by Savannah Williams to make striped crochet shorts.
Following the tutorial, I was able to begin the waistband portion of the shorts. I had to start and restart this multiple times as I was having a hard time figuring out which stitches were which, as the tutorial didn’t show it as clearly as I needed. Moreover, I made the mistake of choosing a yarn that is much thinner than the one used in the video, which has left me to make some adjustments to the tutorial as I go.
My goal for the week to come is to finish the waistband and get started on the body of the shorts. I think this is a realistic goal for me as I am really enjoying this project so far and I think once I can get going on the body I will be home free!
