This is a PDF knitting pattern.
Keep your tushy warm and cushy with these stylish top-down trousers. Choose a chunky yarn or two strands of worsted weight yarn held together and enjoy the quickly growing seamless fabric. The sample combines Icelandic wool stranded together with a mohair boucle yarn for woolly warmth and fuzzy texture. Short rows raise the back to allow extra room for the booty. A wide leg gradually tapers down to a neat and tidy cropped hem. The top-down construction allows you to customize the pant legs to your measurements. Choose a vibrant color, add stripes, or select a classy staple like black or gray and then proceed to bust a move in your cozy bottoms.
