Notes

Combined a Handspun single and a beautiful ball of Lusso bought in sale.
I also used two patterns as inspiration. One for the 4/4 ribbing, and one for the quick decreasing crown.
CO 88 sts.
I should have knit longer in ribbing, but otherwise I love the result and I am happy I could use some of my Handspun.
It make me realise I don’t HAVE to ply my Handspun yarn. Of course after washing the fabric is slightly slanted, but I don’t mind here. The purl side does not show this, and there are other ways to avoid the distortion to show if needed another time.
