Notes

This was part of my “using up random stash yarn” project list. I like the way the yarns came together. I added two extra knit rows between eyelets to give the yarn a little room to shine, and I used a velvet tie rather than i-cord to cinch it. All in all it came out very vintage feeling, almost victorian. I’m sure it will be a cozy addition to my fall and winter wardrobe.
