Sew Seam

An alternative to Feeling Good Yarn is Knit Picks Wonderfluff. It’s very similar! Wonderfluff is a tiny bit thinner, so using the same size needles will make it a little more airy if you’re looking for something a lighter.

A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of CO stitches.
The CO edge is the width, across your shoulders.
This is a rectangle with the sides sewn to create “sleeves.”
Keep in mind that I’m 5’9″ tall, so you might need to knit more rows to make it longer or fewer rows to make it shorter depending on your height.
