This fun one-skein project is a quick knit: perfect to give or keep for yourself. The stitch pattern, from Barbara Walker’s Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, is really easy. 
The natural pull of the stitches causes the biased sections, making it look more complicated than it really is.
Follow the chart or the written instructions, whichever you prefer. It’s easy to adjust the 
size by adding more repeats, but be aware 
that, as written, this pattern uses most of a 
100 gram/230 yard skein, without a lot of extra for fooling around.
