Yarn: Any worsted weight
Needles: Size 7 straits (I knit loosely, use your own judgement) and one size 9 for the bind off
A yarn needle for sewing up.
Notes: I was given this pattern by a wonderful knitting friend in Texas. I kept loosing it and I would have to
call on her to give it to me again. She knits hers without the ribbing. I thought I'd put it here on my blog so
I'd never loose it again. I also modified the way it was written down in case anyone else who's knitting these
has never knitted short rows before. I added "line checks" after all the short row rows. I hope that I've
written it in such a way that even the most novice knitter can tackle it! Thank you Squirell!
