Subtle texture, simple shaping, and ultra-comfortable: it can’t get any better than that! Baxley is worked flat in two pieces, then seamed at the top and sides. The deep v-neck, with a wide button collar added after seaming, enhances the opportunity to layer. The stitch pattern is as engaging as the final results.

pattern notes
The stitch pattern is both written and charted for your preference. The first and last st of every row is knit to create a Garter selvedge edge for seaming. Instructions are given for the smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes.
