Notes

Probably used about 50g of each colour. It’s laceweight, so I used the Navajo plying technique to triple the thickness, which has caused a lot of amused discussion in various places.

Cast on some time last year! This is the first one I’ve made to (more or less) the ‘original’ pattern - before I’ve used the one from the Sunday Times, which doesn’t have the extra rows along the bottom, and is double-breasted. It seems to have worked out OK, though, even if I did have to, er, fudge the stitch counts in a couple of places!
