Thanks Tom - I used a terrific Cascade wool yarn called "MAGNUM" then just used very large 19MM's to get that big loose knit. They are stockinet and grafted and there is no pattern. I would have liked to do them in the round but I needed the knit to go in a vertical direction for them to fall properly.
