Notes

This pattern is a masterpiece! It produces a luscious feeling wrap that is extremely flattering to wear.

It’s an easy knit. I did most of it on an airplane. Once you establish the 2 markers, you pretty much zip back and forth between them without having to refer to the pattern. There is no picking up of stitches either, they are all cast on originally and the divider lines spring out of some simple and clever use of stitches.

The short row technique takes about 30 seconds to learn and is easily remembered.

Extreme Knitting at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt.

This is my all time favorite knit garment.
