Notes

General
Matching gloves.

Why have a chart for the colourwork but not include the decreases? So idiotic to have to check with the written instructions every other row at the top of the hat! The rest of the instructions are ok and the chart is decently large and clear but I’m still not giving it more than three stars.

This yarn knits up more like sport than dk - at least in colourwork. The first hat (co 116 st on 3.25 & 3.5mm needles) ended up both slightly too small and too flimsy. Converted it into a cowl and knitted a new larger & sturdier hat (co 128 st on 3 & 3.25 needles).
