Jennie Atkinson has created this brand-new design especially for the 100th issue of The Knitter, printed in the free supplement that accompanies this issue. The garment has straps that are crossed at the back then buttoned in place; it’s easy to alter the length of the straps to ensure a perfect fit. The front features a beaded anchor motif that’s worked while you knit. The cast-on edges are knitted in a contrast cream shade, while a thin stripe of cream is incorporated into the lower rib. The project uses Rowan’s Super Fine Merino 4ply yarn.
