From Berroco:

A strand of Medley and Plume FX held together is knit in simple garter stitch on big needles, creating rectangles of different lengths that have an avant-garde look. Fasten it with a bold pin or even a stick.

This garment was designed with an asymmetrical look. The left front will be 2 inches longer than the finished length given below. The right front can be lapped over the left and then pinned in place at neck or shoulder to give several different looks. The sleeves are knit downward from the armholes.

Sample garment shown in size Small. Changes for sizes are shown in parentheses.
