A great stash-busting item, which knits up in an evening. The decorative pattern is simple enough to try as a first fair-isle project. Pattern is written with a chart for the colourwork.

Requires understanding of knitting in the round and stranded colourwork - although this is a simple project to try both!

ERRATA: an error was found in the instructions for the decreases on the top, which was causing swirling - this has now been corrected in the ENGLISH version (French version to follow) - Feb 2013.
Please download the file again if you have a version older than this.

Thanks to Havetoomuchyarn for test knitting.
Thanks to Nylwenn for providing the French translation.
