This design was inspired by all my girlfriends. We would not be complete without each other and we will always make room for one more. We are all so different from each other. Different shapes and sizes, we have different personalities and temperaments and yet we fit together as a group to make something beautiful. The topsy-turvy short rows, garter stitch, chevrons and eyelets give this design interest while keeping to a relaxing, easy-to-work rhythm, suitable for knitting while hanging out with your girlfriends or just watching movies. Each section is easily memorized for the perfect after-hours project.
