Long shorts for little kids 153

 

Our long shorts are a great length for active play and especially for traveling. 

These shorts are fun to wear – they are longer than most other shorts in the dresser drawer, and a good bridge between seasons.

The long shorts have three pockets, elastic in the waist, and an optional drawstring.

This pattern is inspired by the length of pants that are variously called clam diggers, pedal pushers, and toreadors, and belong in every child's wardrobe.
