Travelest

With easy, mindless texture (that you can work with or without a cable needle, depending on your preference), you’ll find Travelest to be a great project for social knitting; there are no increases or decreases to follow, and the texture is easily memorized after a few repeats.

Description

I spend a lot of time flying, whether it’s across the Pacific or closer to home, and I’m always in need of something I can pack and wear on the go. With easy, mindless texture (that you can work with or without a cable needle, depending on your preference), you’ll find Travelest to be a great project for social knitting; there are no increases or decreases to follow, and the texture is easily memorized after a few repeats.  It knits up at a steady pace in two flat pieces, which are seamed at the shoulders and sides. (I’ve included a handy video tutorial link in the pattern that I think you’ll love.)

Slide Travelest on over whatever you happen to be wearing to add a dash of effortless style to your outfit.

Modification Tip: If you like a lighter fabric with more drape, choose the next size smaller in the pattern and go up to a US Size 8/5mm needle. This will create a lighter fabric with more drape (at a slightly larger gauge).
