Notes

Used Emily Ocker’s circular cast on. Very good looking. Seems a little like magic to me how that hole disappeared with a tiny tug! Great YouTube video here

Gauge 7 stitches per 1”

I’ve seen as many people say it’s too large, as say it’s too small, as say it’s the perfect size. So what’s a girl to do?
……..make a best guess I su-pose. I’m a loose knitter, therefore I’m using the smallest needle size recommended for my yarn. I like the fabric I’m getting. I am making the child/adult small and hoping for the best. I have three granddaughters this could fit, but I’m aiming for the 7 year old (middle one) because she’s all about pink and purple right now. But if it’s bigger or smaller than expected I can gift to a different granddaughter.

So far colors are lovely and the color progression is good, the fabric feels nice.

It does seem pretty big. :/ Fingers crossed

Changed colors at 9 1/4”.
Knit to 16 1/4” from cast on before starting decreases.

So I’d say its a little big. But not ‘overly big’ for my 8yr old granddaughter. Really like how it came out. Colors are great. The feel is great. Enjoyed making this so much Im starting another. Same yarns, a striped side and a solid… just in different colors.
