Notes

I wanted to make something simple while using the leftover yarn from my Blue disaster cardigan.
Really like the simplicity and elegance of the pattern.

  • Followed directions for the smallest size.

  • When sewing two pieces together went a little higher with seams - didn’t want my undergarments to show.

  • The lower edge has been rolling up no matter what I did to it (my yarn could be the culprit). Eventually, picked up stitches around the low edge and knit 6 rows in garter stitch, it helped (pictures were taken before added garter rows)

  • To avoid the hem curling make at least 4 rows in garter stitch on both sides before decreasing/increasing. Blogged here.
