This pattern was inspired by the
wonderful colors of Noro sitting next to stark black.
I got the yarn the day my daughter started at a week
long summer camp, and now we both have a fun memory
of that time.
The sleeves are knitted top-down
and the body is knitted bottom up.
All pieces have seam sts included
in the initial CO numbers. These sts are the
first and last st of every piece and are to be worked
in stockinette.
All raglan incs or decs are worked
one st in from the edge, not counting seam sts.
The decs on the body are worked
6 sts in from the edge, while the body incs are worked
one st in from the edge, not counting seam sts. |
