Notes

Frogged August 2020 - some of the yarns weren’t holding up well after years of being dragged around the house, but others were fine, so this way I get to re-use them.


Striped garter stitch:
6 ridges handspun Corriedale
2 ridges contrast
6 ridges Hudson
2 ridges contrast

I didn’t count the cast on but it was about 140-150 stitches.

I held the DK/worsted contrast yarns double and the sport ones triple.

Knitted-on garter stitch border on the long edges and a hdc crochet border on the short ones.

It’s uuuuuggggllllyyyyyy but VERY squishy and warm.
