Only loosely followed pattern. Band is only one strand instead of doubled. Shorter ribbing row. Used recommended yarn because I loved the high sheen of this yarn. When knit up, sheen diminishes somewhat from how beautiful it is in the ball, but the killer is actually knitting with it. It’s a cable construction of about a million tiny fibers that split and snag endlessly. Don’t think it will wear well.

This is a great color. Not dark green as named, more of a green with teal undertones. It’s not teal, it’s not green, it’s something really nice in between. Color closest to photo of the yarn.
