Construction
Castaways is worked seamlessly from the top down. It starts out with a separate back worked in the flat, and then the front to the arm holes. The fronts and backs are joined to work top down in the round to the garter, eyelet and twisted rib shell motifs that adorn the graceful hem, finished with JST’s loopy eyelet bind off. The length of this garment can be modified, however the kit includes the amount of yarn required to knit the design as written.
