Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Summer 2005: “Micki Hair likes to work with yarns in natural fibers. For this feminine duo she’s chosen velvety soft, undyed cottons and found several ways to highlight the yarns’ quiet beauty. A simple knit-and-purl basketweave stitch adds comforting density to the fabric of the belted bathrobe, worked in plush organic cotton. Smooth stockinette stitch enhances the subtle sheen of the cotton used for the camisole-and-boxer pajamas. A simple I-cord motif stitched on at the finish of the bodice is all the adornment needed.”
