Notes

Learned the long tail tubular cast on 2x2. Hope it works…

Following the pattern, but with 3.5mm 40cm circular bambu needles.

29.11.2015 Done and finished!

Not completely happy about the decreases, too loose and some holes. I try to fix it when I wash and block this.

The new cast on was really loose, it feels so weird that it doesn’t press ears or anything! But it’s a good thing.

The yarn is just wonderful <3

I used combined knitting, which means all the knitted sts were “right leg front, left leg back” on the needle, and all the purled sts “right leg back, left leg front”. It means that when I made a purl with the yarn in front, I took the yarn from upper side, not under … It’s really hard to explain, but it made all the knitted sts tighter! Weird!

I’m sure I will make another one with a brim, but try something else with the decreases.
