Notes
  • My sister gave me 2 skeins of this yarn so I will probably need to get more.

  • The first skein lasted 43 rounds with a tiny bit leftover. Since the rounds increase as we go, I’m really not sure how much I’ll need! We’ll see how long the second one lasts.

  • I wish I was more skilled at planned color-changes. I have 2 colors (blue and gray) and wish that I had changed colors throughout (at least it would make my yarn last longer before needing to buy more) but I really don’t feel confident doing that without seeing the finished product. But it would be so striking in 2 colors!

  • I’m on row 62 and it’s looking like this is where my second skein will end! Oh no! I need more!


  • I started over on 9/14 because the top wasn’t straight. I’m using 2 colors, switching every 2 or 4 rounds (so I can carry the unused color along the side). I’ve had to make lots of changes and lots of frogging, but it’s coming out way better.

  • I’ve had to frog so many times! What I’ve learned is this: always increase on the ends and always increase at the point. Always.

  • I’m on round 84 and I’ve run out of my gray color so I will need to wait before I can continue.


  • 97 rows + 3 border rows

  • I used 560g of yarn
