CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN
Constructed of three rectangles, the simple construction makes this a perfect first garment for beginners. This perfectly snuggly robe comes with three back panel options and three sleeve options. So you can choose your own adventure for this fun to make garment. More advanced crocheters would be able to easily swap out the back panel for their own preferred stitch making this garment even more unique.
This robe was designed to be the perfect top layer, for snuggling up on the couch at home or tossed on as an outer garment when going out. The vertical back panel is flattering and adds visual interest. The simple open fronts are easy to wear and look great open or belted.
