This slouchy wonder is knit flat, worked from side to side and shaped using short rows.

The garter stitch gives the fabric sturdiness as well as stretch, and the pattern works well with Sport, DK, or light worsted weight yarn.

As written, the pattern calls for a provisional cast on and a modified Kitchener stitch for grafting your live stitches together. Instructions for both are included within the pattern, as well as suggestions for alternate methods.
