It was to be so easy. I knitted a rectangle about 9 in x 32 in. I found I didnthave the poly fill, so I double some blanket batting, whip stitched it and made a tube of it, Soo cute, but because of the door threshold, it rolled away from the the door. So I undid the tube, knitted another same sized rectangle, layered it, stitched it, and for some reason, it shrunk to 29 in. It didnt fit the door way. So, I cast on each end and added 4 inches on each side. It fits, it stops the draft! Did I tell you this door is into my garage, and it had not had a door draft on it for the last 24 years?
It was like my dog, I knitted her a sweater, and after her taking it off three times, I gave up. Put this door will keep this door draft!

Be good to yourself and be good to this earth.
