Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2009 #16
Designed by Debbie Bliss

The simplest legerdemain creates magic with casual cutaway fronts worked sideways in one piece, from sleeve to sleeve, in a two-row stitch pattern—single rib alternating with purl rows. Alpaca Silk Aran gives the piece its fluff and sheen.
