Pattern Instructions
Knit flat.
CO 33 STS for the medium size.
Row 1 (RS): *P*
Row 2 (WS): *K*
Knit rows 1-2 until you’ve reached the width measurement, or desired width.
BO loosely in pattern.
Knit the 2nd side the same as the first.
The front and back are the same.
Top Seams:
Put the wrong sides together.
Starting from the outside, seam the top seam, leaving a hole large enough to fit your head through and maybe show a little shoulder. My head hole width measures 10 1/2″. Make sure the seams from the outside to the inside are the same measurement on each side.
Side Seams:
Starting from the bottom, seam each side using the mattress stitch, leaving a hole just large enough to fit your hand and arm through. My arm hole measures 8″.
Steam-block lightly, which will add about 1-2″ of length.
Weave in the ends.
