The sky is the limit with this basic, easily customizable piece. It is knit seamlessly from the top-down in a dk weight yarn. While the pattern is detailed for 6-row stripes in 2 colours, it could easily be made in a solid colour or a different stripe pattern. It is meant to be worn with some positive ease, but how much is entirely up to you. It has waist shaping, so it’s shapely & flattering even if it’s roomy. That said, you can easily omit the waist shaping or make it A-line instead. All in all, comfort & versatile knitting at its best! #sizeinclusive

Use any dk yarn that gives the noted gauge.

Suitable for an average knitter.
