A fun little piece to take the chill off your shoulders. The Cover Me Up is knit side to side to give you vertical stripes which are slimming. Our sample used two different colors but it certainly can be done with just one. We alternated our colors by knitting to the end of the main color (MC) ball, then adding a 3 inch stripe of the contrast color (CC) and returning to the MC. We also used one color for the front and one color for the back at the split section. We then used random striping from there so that we could use up the yarn that was left.
