This graceful and romantic garment is knit from side to side starting with the cuff, and working front and back at the same time; definitely an armchair project rather than portable knitting! But the look is so remarkable, it’s more than worth it. St st is used throughout, and then applied I-cord is used to finish the cuffs, hem, and neckline. The original yarn used (Ariel) is no longer available, but the Alpine Baby or Silk & Merino DK should work well instead (their gauges are given below respectively).
