Knitting Pattern: Kisko Shorts (by Veera Jussila)
Knitted shorts can be paired with tights or worn for winter activities, for example. For durability, use sock yarns for the shorts.
The pattern for the Kisko shorts was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Vuokko knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Vuokko’s stunning, timeless prints.
