This is a very easy pattern with lots of impact once you’re done! It features a quick, traditional basketweave pattern of just knits and purls. There is absolutely NO SHAPING! The body’s edge is a pretty and practical I-cord bind off (complete directions included - but it’s easy!). There are no stitches to pick up, collar is just the top edge folded over! It really is one of the quickest garments you’ll ever knit!

This will fit most people, from older children to adult women. If you’d like extra width, increase 6 sts at a time.

Have fun! I love wearing these cocoons (or shrugs)!
