Yarn: Purl Soho Good Wool in “Walking Stick”
Mods: Kim’s notes on working the I-Cord edgings: “I slip stitched with a crochet hook around the arm holes and neck using the pick up rate you specified. I then used the cordsmith and and picked up every other slipped stitch. I did one plain row of icord between every attached row to make sure I had enough stretch since the cordsmith gauge is smaller than the garment gauge. I used the 4 needle Cordsmith for all the icord. On the hem, I did the bind off by attaching one stitch, then doing a row of unattached icord.”
