I think you'd be surprised. I have a chart and stuff, so that I know where it's going. It's not as bad as you might think. It *looks* terribly complicated, but it's really only knit, knit, knit, decrease, knit, knit, knit. There's not even any purling at the moment (though there was at the ribbing).

You should try it -- there's a learning curve, but then it's not so bad.
