It first began when I needed some good study knitting… A provisional cast-on and then almost two feet of stockinette. For some that may be boring, but for me it keeps the hands busy so my mind is able to concentrate. It’s a low-key form of multitasking.
This is the result.

design notes:
reverse stockinette fabric is knit at a loose gauge and doubled for warmth.

optional notes and directions appear throughout the pattern.
this pattern is easibly adaptable to other stitch patterns or yarn weights.

note: the grey version, is slightly smaller than the pattern calls for. i only used one skein of yarn, but you would actually require two to knit to the correct size.
