Notes

My fourth Boxy! I can’t stop! This pattern has become my “uniform” when working at Loops. So comfortable and not too warm for indoor wear. Making them on the machine is a snap and a great way to use up stashed yarns that I won’t live long enough to hand knit.

My favorite Boxy’s have a tencel, bamboo or viscose component to them. I find they drape better and avoid a boxy appearance.

Because this yarn was a bit more substantial than some others, I only cast on 172 sts vs 186 at T8. Alternated skeins throughout. I had to customize the shoulder shaping a bit by blending the instructions from the Worsted Boxy and the original Boxy patterns. Hand knit shoulders and ribbed sleeve edges with 2.25 and 2.5mm needles.

Width at hem = 25”
Overall length = 24-1/2”
Neck opening = 8-1/2”
Sleeve length = 8-1/2”
Sleeve width at cuff = 4-1//2”
Sleeve width at bicep = 5-1/2”
