Notes

That was love at first sight.

Shoot! I really knit tightly. After 65 rows I switched to 4.5 mm needles.

  • After making rows 1-66, I repeated rows 67-82 six times.
  • Made small ribbed waist to prevent curling.
  • Added elastic rubber (under K sts in the rib) not cord.
  • Put the elastic cord (double stranded because it seems too thin) in BO edge (crochet 3.5 mm).

No lining, no blocking - not needed.

It’s extrasuperwarm ;-)

I LOVE IT!!!
