Notes

Instead of doing 176 3 stitch rows for the world’s longest garter tab, I followed in the footsteps of others and cast on 90 (on a size 8 needle - may regret this later), knit the first and last F&B on two succesive rows, knit a row, then k3, p88, k3 for the setup row.

Then on to the chart. 3 stitch garter edge, 11 repeats of the chart, 3 stitch garter edge.

On to the edging, still working with the first skein. Ended up using 11.5 gr of the second skein.

That crochet bind off. Took two long evenings…

The project is pretty, but I only gave it 2 stars because the pattern (and chart) are not well, written, but hey - free!
