Your stash is the “Hen House” and Foxy has her eye on it!

Foxy is a clever design with an attractive gathering of ridges over one shoulder that will fan out over the other shoulder making for a unique drape.

A very sly (in a good way) and simple little series of slipped stitches is all it takes to knit your Foxy ridges.

And the inside? It’s just as pretty as the outside.

Foxy is perfect for using up partial skeins and leftovers making it an amazing stash buster.

Foxy is very versatile and can be worn with the ridges to the back to fit snugly under a jacket for a different look.

I may have to design more with this technique, it’s just that effective and unique.
