It’s a comparatively simple sample, labored in two halves from a brief aspect so you may make it any size you want. There’s a little bit of ribbing on the edge after which two sections of lace, with the primary a part of the physique labored in stockinette sew.

This may make it somewhat simpler to put on and spotlight the lace sections extra as a result of they wouldn’t be wrapped up behind you while you put on it.

Along with yarn and knitting needles, you’ll want a sew holder or two (or some spare yarn to carry the stitches) and a yarn needle for stitching the items collectively.
