Can be made in anything from fingering - aran.

Easy, portable projects.

Easy-to-read stitches, knit until you run out of yarn.
What could be simpler?

Choice of ribs in a now classic boomerang shape. ☺

There are both written instructions and a chart for each version.

3/3 rib
garter rib
lace rib
moss rib

Pick the one that works best for your yarn (300m/330 yds will give you a topline of about 150cm/60” - for a larger version, just allow more yarn).

Suggestions:

3/3 and garter rib work well with variegated or handspun yarn.

moss stitch worked with tweed is a classic combo (but other semi-solid type yarns could work too)

Any of those 3 versions can also work well as 2-row stripes.

lace rib works best with a solid or very subtle semi-solid (probably best to avoid yarn that stripes for the lace version)

Many thanks to the testers:
