Notes

Loved this fun addictive and quick knit
I used a 16” circular needle throughout
I used more yarn than mentioned in the pattern, but that’s maybe because its a very different yarn.

This pattern is well written, easy to follow and as expected from Wool People/Brooklyn Tweed has a beautiful layout. However, It might be me, but I found the instructions for wedge 2 in part B unclear. I wasn’t sure where to start the short row.*

Lots of photos because there are lots of ways it can be worn :)

I dont know what to think of this yarn. It pilled right from the off and that’s no fun with black and cream. It did however, soften considerably after a quick soak and then blocking ( quick because the black ran a little and I didn’t want to take any chances of it bleeding into the cream)
I shall have to shave it before wearing :( I will reserve judgement for now.

Blocking in progress. done !
No mats wires or pins ! :)

Pre blocking sizes ( pattern and Post blocked sizes in bold )
55” (72.25”)
43” (54.25”)
18” (22.75”)
24.5” (30.50”)
12” (17”)

  • as I thought the pattern needed a little correction and has been duly updated :)
