Knit the 2nd side the same as the first.

The front and back are the same.

Top Seam:

Put the wrong sides together.

Starting from the outside, seam the top seam, leaving a hole just large enough to fit your head through. Make sure the seams from the outside to the inside are the same measurement.

Mine measures 47″ wide and the hole width is 8″. Each top seam measures 19.5″.

Side Seam:

Starting from the bottom, seam each side using the mattress stitch, leaving a hole just large enough to fit your hand and arm through.

Side Seam {video tutorial}:

Weave in the ends.

Blocking:
Steam-block lightly, which will add 1-2″ of length.
