I don’t know if it’s the yarn (I used Quince Finch instead of BT) or the pattern but this really didn’t turn out as I would have liked. The stitch pattern doesn’t show optimally, IMO, even if the now-added photo makes it seem as if it does… That may be because I should have gone down a needle size and blocked less agressively. I wanted it to be 8 inches wide, min, which is what the small scarf version is supposed to be on a US 6 needle (I didn’t swatch - I wont’ swatch a scarf). I blocked to 9” and it shrank to 8” but it’s a loose knit. Also, it ended up blocking much longer than I was going for. If I were to make this again, I’d modify the pattern to be wider and shorter. But I’m unlikely to bother.

One other issue that potentially led to the outcome (because I couldn’t really tell what was going on with gauge till I blocked it) - the yarn had been frogged from a sweater and I didn’t wash it to get the kinks out before reknitting it in this project. If I’d known the finished object was going to look this “open”, I’d have gone down a needle size.
