Travelest
I spend a lot of time flying, whether it’s across the Pacific or closer to home, and I’m always in need of something I can pack and wear on the go. With easy, mindless texture (that you can work with or without a cable needle, depending on your preference), you’ll find Travelest to be a great project for social knitting; there are no increases or decreases to follow, and the texture is easily memorized after a few repeats. It knits up at a steady pace in two flat pieces (both pieces are the same, which means the front and back are alike), which are seamed at the shoulders and sides. (I’ve included a handy video tutorial link in the pattern that I think you’ll love.)
Slide Travelest on over whatever you happen to be wearing to add a dash of effortless style to your outfit.
