19. Carnaby Skirt Knitting Pattern by Knitty
This nubby-textured wool A-line is cute as a button and making it is easy. It’s knit sideways to size and flared with short rows until it’s long enough to wrap around your hips, then finished with a buttonhole section and firm waistband for a good fit. And because it’s thickly textured, any pills that form from wear (always a problem with bottoms) will be generously obscured.
