skill level: Easy!

Perfect project for a somewhat “non thinking”. This is almost seamless other than an approx 4- 5 inch seam at the shoulders.

The sides have slit openings, which are not hard, just basic bind off and cast on.

I used 2 - 2 inch buttons and dangled beads to make it a little “festive”. There are no buttonholes, just sew the button directly on to the collar when you fold it back.

Knitting a garment using self-striping yarn sideways is flattering for all figures.
