Make it long or short, baggy or tight, in one colour or striped.

Notes
The pattern will work for other ColourMart 4 ply yarns, and many lace weight yarns from other companies.
The 24” cropped original was knitted with ColourMart silk/linen 4 ply.
The 34” longer length original was knitted with two strands of ColourMart Merino lace weight, 2/15, throughout. Remember that if you are working with two strands of yarn you will need double the yardage (but the same weight).
