Notes

Realized the edging might be wonky with the gradient

Onto chart 3……

I got to chart 4 and really hate how the gradient is on the knitted on edge. I will wind up at the orange color by the end of the edging which will kill the effect. Soooooo I dug through my lace weight yarns and found a color match . I will have to go back to row 36ish of chart 3 to blend this so that the color will stay cohesive.

If making a gradient, I highly suggest getting a gradient skein pack or having a yarn that is a close match to the gradient after 650ish yards of a gradient cake. You will need about 200 yards of your final skein of yarn for the knitted on edge.
