You will also need twelve 1/2” (10 mm) buttons.

This is my second nod in the A La Maison 2 collection to basic stitches – this time, in both knit and crochet. While mainly a garter stitch primer, definitely be prepared with your crochet hook – you’ll need it for the side seams, the top final rows, and the button holes.

A note on the stripe sequence: I pretty much just did what I felt aesthetically pleasing to me; there is no underlying mathematical rationale, so if it feels random, it is … but I really like it.
