Ramona in Creative Knitting

Ramona_CreativeKnittingJan2012

Ramona by Megan Goodacre

Knit in Fantastic, colorway #7508 Midnight

Pattern Notes: The body is worked in 1 piece to underarms and then divided to work back and front separately. The first and last two stitches of the body are edge stitches with the first stitch of every row being slipped purlwise. These edges will be sewn to the zipper. Because the edges are highly visible, join new yarns in the middle of rows not at the end.

Special Stitches: Make 1 Left, Make 1 Right, Linen Stitch, Linen Stitch bind-off.

Sized up to 3x

Creative Knitting January issue is on newsstands now. More info here.
