Cast on 252 stitches to a 29” needle via the long tail cast on.

I read through the pattern comments to find the version for knitting in the round (the PDF is for knitting two pieces and seaming them together).

It’s an easy-to-memorize pattern.

I question a little the varigation in the yarn with this stitch pattern…they fight each other a bit, but I love the colors and the feel of the yarn, so I’m continuing!

Cast of using Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off with the size 10 needle. Worked perfectly the first time for this pattern, and I struggle with cast-offs (and often cast off multiple times to get the tension ok).
