Notes

MODS:
Brim: CO 88
10 rows garter stitch, with increases in Row 8 (K7, KFB) x10

All that was when I’d started a different pattern - for half brioche stitch that’s deeply textured and warm… but in this multicolored yarn, looked like the dreaded Clown Barf (pardon the icchy expression).

Decided the Glimmerfluff would look best as thick bands of purl bumps on a stockinette background. Chose the most likely solid in stash. Since the Glimmerfluff is the softer yarn, am using them in equal-width bands.

The Luuk pattern is closest to what I started, so it’ll be the base for modifications. Will post to KAS and the Square Circle forum when I have a grip on this.

Wearability - in acrylic worsted, seems quite large… may have stretched. (I need to be more focused on measurements pre- and post-wear.)
