correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 30mm / 1¼“ wide elastic for waistband(see Pattern Notes), scrap yarn, stitch markers, tapestry needle

Notes: Fortuna’s Wheel are worked from the topdown, beginning by working flat in rows to create the inner waistband, then joining in the round to make the two-colour outer waistband. A provisional cast-on is used to begin the waistband as well as at the crotch. It is recommended that the waistband is closed around the prepared elastic but, if preferred, elastic can be inserted at the end, before blocking, by lacing it through the channel. Cut elastic to length of waist circumference plus 2cm / ¾“ for overlapping seam. To lengthen the inseam, work additional rounds of Corrugated Rib at the cuffs to achieve desired length.
