Notes

I love Kris Basta’s patterns. They are easy to memorize and are adaptable to all weights of yarn. This one is no exception. Even though it’s written for worsted, I had no trouble adapting it to fingering.

I challenged myself to “yarn chicken” on this win -- and I barely won with 3.75 inches left at the very end. I didn’t know I could hold my breath for 500+ stitches!

I also added beads to every end of the row that was a “cast on” row.

The Sea Silk is nice to work with but it does get a halo quickly if you have to tink or rip back.
