Notes

I loved this pattern because it was super simple to follow but had a dramatic result. It was also a super quick knit. I’m not a huge fan of knitting with chunky needles, but it went so quickly that I didn’t even mind.

I followed the pattern as written, not needing to make any adjustments for sizing. It would have been really easy to make taller, shorter, wider, or skinnier, but it fit perfectly as is.

The yarn is cute. I love the bold colors and the color combo. However, I noticed the yarn getting kind of fuzzy as I knit. I often had to pull off cloudy puffs of fibers after a few rounds of knitting. I’m worried about how long the yarn will stay looking nice.
