Repeat 2^nd-5^th rows until your piece measures 16(18, 20) inches wide. You should end with a repeat of Row 2 or Row 4 to ensure that your edges are straight. Fasten off.

Making the Second Piece

Using your white color yarn, make one more piece following the same pattern.

Finished Dimensions

The dimensions of the 2 finished rectangles are as follows:

• S/M: 16 X 28″
• L/XL: 18 X 32″
• 2XL/3XL: 20 X 36″

Assembly Instructions

On the long side of the rectangle made with Cupcake yarn, place a marker 16(18, 20) inches away from the edge. Sew the shorter side of the left piece to this marked part without stretching (Part B above). Now you have an ‘L’ shape. Next, join the top shorter side of the right piece to the long side of the left piece as shown by the red arrow. I used a whip stitch and white color yarn to join the pieces.
