Notes

Blatant copy of the lovely Espace Tricot version!

A few modifications:

  • Used Judy’s Magic Cast-On to start and grafted the ends of the tube together, so they would lie nice and flat.

  • Cast on 124 stitches; now I wish I had cast on 110 to make a longer but narrower scarf. In my dream world of an unlimited yarn budget, I would have doubled the width and the yarn amount to make a wider shawl…

I blocked this one hard to get nice crisp edges. The yarn was already soft while knitting, but post-blocking it’s just incredible. That drape! That squishiness! I will definitely use Metalico again.
