Skills Needed
- General knitting skills
- Kitchener stitch
- Short row shaping
- The “shadow wrap” method of short-row shaping is written into the instructions but you may use a different method if you prefer.
Snap is a fun little knit that is quick and seamless. It is knitted sideways using short rows to create the A-line shape and finished off with a big snap or button (with a hidden snap underneath).
