First you knit flat in the garter stitch border, then work it in the round to the very top edge. It’s a quick and really fun knit.
A simple two row raised stitch pattern adorns the lower part and the decreases add yet another lovely detail, moving on to the top ribbed neckline with the knit stitches being done through the back loop for a bit more interest. If you knit it with the Tubular yarn as I did, you are going to love the wonderfully soft feel.
