Love the look of short rows but hate all that counting? This pattern uses marking pins to eliminate the counting. Row gauge is extremely important in this pattern. This is a short row, sideways knit tunic finished with an a shell stitch border that mimics the scalloped lower edge.

The raindrops are knit in a contrasting, color change yarn, with each raindrop using approximately 25 yards (400 yards total). A solid or tonal is recommended for the main body, using approximately 800 - 1000 yards. Because of the sideways construction, use the recommended yarn or a yarn with little drape to avoid stretching.

Size C or D crochet hook is used in the finishing.
