Notes

I extended this, basically repeating rows 71-93 (with more repeats of K10, YO, SKP).
The outer edge I added more yo’s to give a lacer edging.
ie. (K2, yo, SKP, K2, yo, SKP, K2, yo, SKP) instead of K10, yo, SKP).
For the last 6 rows, I worked the plain K rows as Purl rows to prevent the edge curling.
Then used a stretchy bind off.

Super pleased with this project, it started off small using handspun scraps, but I spun more yarn to finish it.
The observant among you will notice that the yarn in the centre is heavy fingering weight, by the outside it’s Aran weight, this happened slowly as I spun more yarn months apart. It actually has no effect on the shape or feel.
