Holli is a designer who cares a lot about garment tailoring and structuring and altering and fit. That aspect of her focus comes through her work because of the details she includes and she tells people how to alter things and how to fix stuff.
I was so pleased with how well written this pattern was cause I am always nervous to try out patterns from designers I’m not familiar with.
Love all of these patterns, … you’re so good at deceptive (and really smart) simplicity!
This was such a fun pattern to knit Holli, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed knitting one of your well written patterns.
I can tell its gonna be an amazing fit. I have contacted the designer twice with questions and she has been so helpful!

Shadow Wrap Short Rows
The Shadow Wrap Short Row method, developed by Alice Yu of the Socktopus blog uses one of my favourite increases—the raised increase, sometimes called lifted increase. One of the reasons the raised increase is my favourite is because it’s the most invisible and that’s also why it lends itself so nicely to this short row technique.
