Introduction
I started this project without any expectation of it becoming something let alone writing a pattern for it. At the time, I had moved to a new state and I didn’t have anyone to meet up with or talk to in the area yet and knitting helped with the anxiety of starting over in a new place. Instagram connected me to so many knitters, some of whom were in my area that I would meet up with. It opened me to connecting with more people beyond knitting. It finally made me feel like I was home. So, I dedicate this to all my knitting friends, on and off line, who have helped me come out of my shell and inspire me to keep creating. Hashtag on Instagram with #homesweethomeknitformula and #tinatseknits so I can see your progress and FOs! And tag me @tina.tse.knits.

Construction
A seamless garment/accessory using modular knitting technique, building each small piece at a time to create a bigger whole in different shapes, in different knitting directions, attaching pieces as you knit, no seaming, with I-cord border.

Difficulty Level
Intermediate

Yarn
DK weight, fingering weight held double, or thin worsted weight. Total yardage dependent on garment type. If you need to purchase yarn instead of using scrap/leftover yarn, you can predict based on a garment yardage of any pattern you’ve knit before.

Needle
US 6 / 4 mm or size to obtain gauge

Notions
DPNs (for i-cord border, if needed), gauge ruler, measuring tape

Gauge
19 sts by 40 rows = 4” / 10 cm
