Donna
Introducing Donna, a cushy, draped wrap to keep the chill away. Trimmed with a few rounds of Reverse Stockinette, this design is worked bottom-up and in-the-round in Twisted Rib – a 5-stitch by 4-row repeat of knits, purls, and simple right twists. Shaping at its neckline edge hugs the shoulders. Dress it up or down, this multi-season piece is super stylish and versatile – a perfectly cozy project to pick up at the end of a work day, or anytime of any day. Enjoy!
