This is the crochet pants pattern I always wish existed, but now it does!

I show how an elastic band is added to make them super wearable, no more clunky fit crochet bottoms.

The crochet pants design has a bit of a boho hippie-ish vibe I suppose, but the design just inspired me to make it rather than the other way around. I had the picture in my mind and it took weeks to make it a reality!

The pants can easily be made into shorts instead. They would be great for yoga and thai massage as they're easy to slip on and are so roomy and comfy.

Pattern includes the link to a full video tutorial as always.
