SKILL LEVEL:

Intermediate or Advanced Beginner

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:

Medium to heavyweight knit fabric, such as double knit, ponte or scuba knit. Some lighter weight knits with decent recovery can be used, such as baby french terry or athletic fabric, and stretch lace or velvet are also beautiful options! Jersey knits or knits with rayon or linen blends are not recommended.  RIBBING (VERSION A): 1x1 or 2x2 knit ribbing for cuffs, hem band, and neck binding. These pieces can also be cut from your main fabric, but the neck binding may need to be cut from a larger size to accomodate lower stretch percentage.
