Notes

Testing another unordinary design by Anne. Test discussion is here.

This is a great design for somebody who wants to learn new techniques. Ending tips are very unique.

My modifications:

  • longer back hem;
  • wider sides for relaxed fit.

My attempt on picking up stitches on the wrong side was not really successful. Here is what I did instead - with right side facing, I placed second pair of a circular needle on the wrong side. I picked up first sts, and when picking 2nd sts, I wrapped yarn around circular needle on the back and only after that pulled yarn to the right side. Then, repeated for all the stitches. When finished picking up sts, I had 2 pair of circular needle with the same number of sts, one on each side of the work. The result is the same as per instructions, except for an extra row on the wrong side, since I joined sts to a single needle on the wrong side. I ignored this extra row and continued per instructions.
