This was inspired by a store sample at Wisconsin Craft Market that had very simple directions:

1. Holding 5 strands of aran weight yarn together, cast on 40 stiches.
2. Knit 16 rows
3. Bind of loosely.

It was a bit awkward working with the massive size US 50 needles, but I made it through. I’m also not super happy with the button closure on it, but you can’t win ’em all.
