I love going to Pinterest to find new knitting and crochet inspiration to make my knitting patterns using a Sentro knitting machine (purchase in this link), recently I saw these knitted shorts and I was really excited to make a Ribbing Shorts Sentro knitting pattern using my machine just to actually see if I would be able to make one 🙂
These are the images I used as inspiration for this tutorial, and truthfully it came out as good as any of these ones!
The pattern consists of 4 panels stitched together and a ribbing on the top made with a circular needle. In the video, I explain how to decrease stitches on the sides to make the waist smaller.
To make these shorts you will need the items listed below:

The circular needles from 5 to 7mm and 32 inches long to fit all the stitches.
It’s good to have a few sizes of crochet hooks, like 3 mm for finishing and 5mm to make crochet around the waist and legs. I used a yarn similar to red heart and my gauge is 4″ = 14st x 22 rows. You can use wool or velvet as well, I think a velvet one would look awesome, but consider making a sample first to see the gauge changes.
After making the ribbing with the circular needle I finished the waist with elastic under the SC row, if you never made a crochet don’t worry I’m only using one stitch and it’s explained in the video as well.
I’m making all these videos because I’m curious about what can be done with the circular knitting machines, so I appreciate it if you could leave me your comment and follow my Channel here!
My other patterns made with Sentro 48 needles are here!
In this video, you will also learn how to join panels with hidden stitching that looks perfect at the end!
Hope you Enjoy it!
