I didn’t have size 10 needles when I was itching to cast on so I upped it to 10.5 and will use this size going forward because I love how it came out!

Like so many others, I added eyelets at the color change rows. k2tog, YO across, keeping the edge stitches according to pattern.

I also crocheted a row of shells & picots for the edging to use up the entire cake.
