Notes

The best part? It doubles as a ninja mask.

The second best part? I won this yarn in Twisted’s monthly haiku contest. :)

Measurements before blocking: 52” wide x 19” tall
Measurements after blocking: 70” wide x 17.5” tall

Modifications:

  • Knit the stockinette portion to 215 sts before I started Chart A.

Math as follows:
14 x 15 (# of rpts desired)=x, x=210
x+1=y, y=211
y+4=z, z=215
z=number of sts you should increase to

  • Worked 3 rpts of Chart A before starting Chart B.

Pattern Notes:

I ran out of yarn at the very end of my third Chart A repeat - the perfect time to switch to my leftover black sparkly. I knit the edge (Chart B) in the black and it ended up goth’ing it up a little and giving it a really striking appearance. I can’t wait to rock this at Saturday Market!

Every time I finished a repeat of Chart A, the stitch count of row 1 didn’t line up with what I had left from the last row of the chart. I didn’t realize until starting the edge (Chart B) that the chart had 2 extra stitches on each side of Row 12 in Chart A.

Despite the mistakes, I love love love this pattern. I fully intend to knit another.
