Notes

General
Note to self: Ought to have started in the round much earlier - at least 10 rows - and added the missed increases at center back gradually through out.

How to make a garter tab that doesn’t “hump”: Knit proportionally fewer rows and pick up stitches both in the garter ridges and between them.

C1 Venetian Red, C2 Shockingly Pink, C3 Lady Marmalade

TCKAL cast-on post: #287

Mods

  • used provisional CO for the garter tab and only knit 6 r while still picking up 5 st,
  • while knitting flat slipped both first and last st on the WS rows and knit them on the RS,
  • knit together first & last st when joining in the round and increased 1 st on each side, used the joining stitch to make a purl stripe like on the front,
  • changed to larger needles after Section Six,
  • changed to even larger needles after Section Eight,
  • in Section Nine knit the second eyelet stripe with C3,
  • elastic BO purlwise.
