Notes

FWIW, I knitted 3 rows of the pattern wrong (reading the chart left to right instead of right to left), then picked back 2 rounds.

Kinda mangled the beginning of the decreases, because I was working on it during a divisional retreat. (NTS: don’t do that!) But got it back in pattern pretty quickly, and am overall quite pleased. Seems a bit small, hoping it’ll grow with wear and/or blocking. Almost precisely the right amount of yarn for the pattern, too!

Like the pattern quite a bit, would like to try making it again.

It was always a little bit too small, and after pulling it out of summer storage yesterday, I decided to give it to the 11-year-old I talk to on the bus sometimes. It looks great on her, and she likes it!
