Notes

Crown

Went down a size to 3.25mm. Added one extra dec row: slip 1 purlwise, knit 2tog, lift slipped stitch over, k3 - 16 st left

After blocking don’t love the “gathers” in the crown shaping. Wondering if 3.25mm would have been better overall for stranding.

Chroma Fingering

Also didn’t love the Chroma Fingering in terms of its thick and thinness but the colour was great! Would have been better with a more substantial solid yarn - the Alpaca Cloud was a bit thin.
