Notes

I’m using an I hook, I like how it makes the stitches lighter and ought help with drape.

O. K. Here’s my take on this pattern. Yes, it’s a good pattern. But it’s way over worded and I find the written pattern difficult to follow as it uses brackets improperly and gives stitch by stitch what you are supposed to skip. Ex. Instead of “skip 2 DC, 3dc in next dc” it will say skip DC, ch1,dc dc3 in dc.

It also gives you wrap by wrap instructions for the cluster stitch instead of giving the 1st instructions and saying xx 3x it breaks it down for all 3 stitch by stitch.

The chart is excelent though and much easier than the written pattern.voverall it’s a lovely design

For the 3 TC clusters where 2 come off the same chain I make one cluster as indiccated but pull through 3 loops on hook, leaving 2 on. Then work the next finishing off by pulling through 5 loops on hook. On the next row i sc between the 2 clusters cinching up all strands. Makes it neat

Because I’m using a larger hook, I had to get more yarn for the dark “cake” bands. The last dark strip and the edging will be in MadTosh sock. A purple/red which matches the red bits in the frosting section perfectly
