I needed a project for a planned ‘Knit-in’ for teaching beginners, so I had a go at making a pattern that would take me no more than 2 hours to complete.

I wore the finished demonstration model at the weekend. It matches the new cashmere jumper and provided warmth in the bare V of the neck when watching the birthday fireworks.
