    While it includes some nuanced techniques like short row shaping and other sweater elements, the majority of the pattern is worked in stockinette stitch, making it a soothing knit that allows you to settle into a comfortable rhythm. Even with these more advanced techniques, the pattern is still very approachable, offering a nice balance of challenge and relaxation

    The pattern remains straightforward, allowing you to immerse yourself in the peaceful process of knitting. The repetition of stockinette and ribbing makes it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a calm, steady rhythm while working, with enough interest to keep you engaged without overwhelming complexity. It’s the ideal project for those seeking both a satisfying challenge and the ultimate relaxation.
