Notes

Cast on with 3.0 mm. Changed to 3.5 mm at Chart B. Too loose, ripped back to use 3.25 beginning with Chart B.

On Charts L2a and R2a, reduced repeats of rows 1-4 to 3 for each section. On Chart LR3, reduced repeats to 4.

64”x25.5”

Silk was gorgeous in the skein and when first knit--lustrous, great stitch definition. Fuzz factor became obvious before project completed. Silk has a beautiful drape but lost the sheen and the color is becoming drab.

Very disappointed that errata have not been published for this pattern. No excuse.
