Notes

Started top down with a doubled chain stitch (uses both ends to make the chain). I did this so I could put in a v-neck like this:

Neck shaping 1: work 3 doubles in place of one
2: in last 3 doubles, chain 2, skip 2, 2 singles in last double
3: work normal row of doubles.
4: work normal row of singles

Repeat these 4 rows 3 time total.
I put extra stitches under the arm too.

Quick and fun! It’s a bum hugger!

I knit 2x2 ribbing for the edges using a 4mm needle. I should have cast off more loosely on the neck band. At least it won’t droop.
