MVP DK, in Lava Field and Tusk

Mineville Wool Project’s DK yarn, while arguably more light worsted than DK, is certainly a lighter weight yarn than the pattern calls for, so I am utilizing xsolv’s very helpful notes.

So: provisionally cast on 85 (I used the crochet-chain-over-the-knitting-needle provisional cast on). 20 rows in Tusk, 2 rows in Lava Field, 30 rows in Tusk, 2 rows in Lava Field, repeat. And so on.

Love it so far. Also love the yarn.

Pattern Modifications: Well, different yarn, of course. And I had plenty of yarn, so I repeated the Edging Chart two full times rather than one and a half. I ended up using one gram of the fourth ball of Tusk. Used the Yarn-Over Bind Off from Cast On, Bind Off.

I blocked it to 40” by 42”. Blocking to an actual square escapes me sometimes.
