A simple and soothing garter drop-stitch project, this easy, slouchy, dolman-sleeved top layers perfectly for warm autumn days and cool summer evenings. Solid and multi-coloured yarns work equally well.

NOTE: This takes exactly one skein - use all the yarn-saving techniques: knitting both pieces at the same time, Russian join, only 3 times the length of the seam to Kitchener. Dropping a needle size for the drop-garter stitch is also a choice as the fabric stretches a lot in blocking.

Yarn Requirements:
Poppy Yarn and Fibre
