#FilcolanaAudrey
Audrey is originally designed to be worn over tights to and from Pilates or yoga but is also
extremely useful for a pit stop at a café - or to snuggle up in when you sit in the corner of the sofa
after a long day.

SPECIAL ABBREVIATIONS
K2tog: Knit 2 sts together.
Sl1 k1 psso (decrease): Slip 1 st knit-wise, k1, pass
the slipped st over the knitted st.
Inc (increase): Lift the bar between 2 sts and work it
through the back loop.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
Short rows are worked using the twin stitch method.
Twin stitch short rows, worked from the right side:
Flip work a bit towards yourself so you can see the
wrong side of the sts. Insert right needle into ’the neck’
(the wrong side) of the st which is just below the first st
on left needle, pick up the yarn and work a knit st. Slip
the st you have just worked (the twin st) onto the left

twin st, work both sts together as if they were one st. Both sides are joined at the shoulders before picking
up sts for the neckband.
Then sts are picked up for the sleeves and worked in
the round, top down, making the sleeves easily adjust-
able in length.
Twin stitch short rows, worked from the wrong side:
Insert right needle, top down, in the ’neck’ of the st
below, and purl this new st. You might want to move
the yarn to the wrong side of work. Slip the st, you have
just worked, onto the left needle.
Turn work and continue as pattern indicates, tighten
yarn a bit.
When working the st and its matching twin on the next
wrong side row, work the sts together through the back
loop, so the twin st disappears.
