These stitches may be passed over, but you should never be.

Classy but casual, a just enough coverage piece. Worked in one skein of light bulky, it has a nice deep squish, breathable but still warming.

An easy to memorize slip and pass over stitch that results in a pretty wrapped-stave basketry look.

Written in US English, includes fully written out line by line instructions, plus an abbreviated instructions set if you prefer them.

Worked in the round, bottom-up and top-down appearances are the same.

Established Beginner Skills: Work in the round, knit, purl, purl through back loop, slipped stitches + passing slipped stitches over, yarn over.
