Needed a project that was easy to pick up and put down this summer, toting my kids around everywhere. This is straight stockinette for 50 inches, which is basically perfect, although it’s slightly daunting to knit straight for basically as tall as my 8-year-old daughter.

I cast on more stitches because of a smaller gauge and my height. This came out not quite as wide as I’d hoped, but I still like it.
