I am retiring from knit design due to progressive arthritis. Although I will no longer provide pattern support to my patterns that are now free, my patterns are edited and most have been test knit.

Just a hug of knitted warmth for taming the chill of a cool day—Leotie provides plenty of drape and style. My shrug features top-down construction, four-button front closure, an expanding garter stitch section framed by traveling twisted-stitch cables showcasing the center back, and twisted-stitch ribbing at the hem.

The Charts are accompanied by written instructions for those who prefer them.
