Notes

Mods:

  • Continued slipped stitches separating quadrants until bind off.
  • I-cord border around entire garment.

I thought this wrap/scarf screamed for I-cord. With the garter border around the neckline, I picked up and knit one stitch from the first garter ridge and the picked up and kfb for the next ridge and continued around until I came to the not-yet-bound-off bottom edge. I cut the yarn, did Judy’s Magical Cast On for three stitches, placed three of the provisional cast on stitches onto a tiny stitch holder and slid the other three onto the left needle. For the I-cord I did: K2, ssk, return three stitches to the left needle and repeat.

Buttons from a bag of wooden buttons purchased from Etsy.
