Round 1: BLO: Ch 2, hdc in same st. Hdc in each st around. Sl st tog into the first hdc, not the ch 2. This pulls the stitches tog to not leave a hole when you sl st.

Rounds 4- 15: Repeat Round 3.
Round 16: Leg hole: Ch 2, in same st hdc. (count that as 1 st) Hdc in the next 39 sts, then join to the 1st hdc. This makes the first leg hole.

Attach yarn to crotch, ch 2, (count that as 1 st) Hdc in the next 39 sts, then join to the 1st hdc. This makes the second leg hole. Repeat Rounds 15 and 16 just like the other leg hole. Fasten off and weave in ends. Now sew up crotch seam.

I used a pattern of 3 brown round, 1 blue mint round. Then I ended with sc round, shell row in blue mint.
I use elastic on all my daughter’s clothes. So I take the ¼" elastic, measure it to my daughter and cut it. Then I sew the one end into a circle. Then I sc the elastic to the first row of hdc of the shorts. (sc around the elastic not through it) Fasten off and weave in ends.
