Style
This season’s newest accessory! A great transition piece for fall when a coat is too much and a sweatshirt just doesn’t measure up! Great for indoors as well. This piece is a snap to knit and easy to throw on and look pulled together. Shown with a contrast color instructions also given to knit in a solid color.
Construction
This piece is uper easy to knit. Starting with the back, it’s a straight knit. At the shoulders the work is separated for the neck. Half of your work is on hold and the other half you continue to knit by itself. Repeat! No sewing at all.
