Notes

I have noticed my feet and shoulders get freezing when I’m sat on those long work at home days, typing away. I want a stylish wearable blanket and have loved this modified version for a while.

Modifications:

  • Size 5mm needle to account for thicker yarn

  • Thicker Yarn- aran squishy goodness

  • As per NancyKane’s wonderful version, I’m doing the Ishbel increases (every row rather than just one) to make it longer for maximum shoulder coverage.

  • Planning to knit till the yarn runs out.

  • I loved the neat edge of zarahmaria’s version so opted for the suspended bind off too.
