A side-to-side garment, worked in one piece from cuff-to-cuff. Garter stitch worked sideways creates an easy-to-knit vertical ridge that drapes gracefully over the sholders. With only increaseing, decreaseing, cast-on and cast-off, the construction is minimal. Maximum wearing time is factored into the design, which works both over-sized at first and cropped and fitted later.

NEEDLES:
24” long circular Size 7
Straight needle SIZE 9
Crochet hook Size 7 (4.5mm)

NOTIONS:
2 stitch holders

Note - it is very important to mark and keep track of all right sides for all pieces.
