Notes

I liked the fabric I was getting with the size 10 needle, so I adjusted the pattern for a post-washing gauge of 19 sts x 28 rows = 4”. (Gauge pre-washing was 19 sts x 24 rows = 4”.)

CO 142 stitches.
16 rows garter after cast-on and before bind-off.
11 stitch garter border.
20 stitches of stockinette with garter border before beginning garter rectangle
For WS in the garter rectangle rows: k11, p11, k42, p67, k11
100 rows of garter rectangle
90 rows of stockinette with garter border

I needed to use 800 yards in the FO, so I went by weight; the initial garter section (after CO) weighed 25 g, so I knit until I had used all but 28 g of the final skein.

The swatch used 20 g of yarn, and I was left with 2 g after the bind-off; the FO thus used 378 g / 832 yd of yarn.

Pre-washing measurements: 33.5” wide x 35” long
Post-washing measurements: 32” wide x 31.5” long
