Make sure that you add some sort of stabilizer under neath before you start so that the fabric is stable and will not move. If doing the waste canvas I do the same, add a stabilizer, baste the waste canvas to the top, and then find the centres and mark them in a different colour thread and work from there out. Well worth every minute of it, and most of the books show how to do it on sweatshirts, only thing with knits you do need a stabilizer and not the water soluble ones, that wash away, as this will have to stay as knits have a weave that will stretch.

I made it in dark and light greens and rose with Cleckheaton Crepe, but instead of ribbing the bottom, I crocheted a lacey hem. It turned out really nice.
