Techniques

Here are some of the knitting skills you need to know before getting started:

Knit Flat (Back & Forth)
Knit & Purl Stitches
Sew Seam

Yarn & Substitutions

Yarn Weight: Aran / Worsted
Yardage: 440 – 918 yards (400 – 840 meters)
Suggested Yarn: Wool and the Gang Feeling Good Yarn (Right now, you can save 15% on a bundle!)

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.

Reversible.
Knit from side to side.
Knit using the rib stitch.
The CO edge is the length.
Knit flat, back & forth on circular needles.
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.
