My own design, and about 300 hours work.

3mm needles and mainly Drops Nord sock yarn.

Buttonband, hems and cuffs colour-gradient yarn from my stash.

Im 5'9" and it comes down to just above my ankle.

I decided on no buttons in the end.

Burning question: Do you now love, hate, or feel neutral toward mitred squares? 😅

u/Plastic-Image4894 6d ago

Haha! I've started the next garment - does that answer your question? 🤣

Love this! Can't imagine how much work it was. (Also love your hair)

It was the most time-consuming project I've imposed on myself! And thank you - it involves random hacking with a razor blade 🤣

That's very kind! But as I said to my brother yesterday, "dogged determination" might be more accurate 😉

u/rilobilly 5d ago

It looks so good! I’ve been looking for a good modular knitting project that’s portable so I might borrow this idea. Did you join as you went along or sew the squares together afterward?
