Notes

03-11-2019

I had some fantastic yarn leftover from a previous project by Mothy and the Squid (Midnight Sky), that was the perfect dark blue to add as the edging. So I decided to use the entire skein of the Freia (Aloha) for the pattern, and add a few yards of the Midnight sky for the Picot Edging. Picot bind-off instructions follow.

I am so happy with the result smiley

Final stitch count before bind-off: 576

Bind-off:

After several trials, I decided to do Picot Bind-off as follows:

Step 1: Cast-on 2 stitches on left needle.
Step 2: Bind-off those 2 stitches, then bind-off 3 of the live
stitches.
Step 3: Move stitch back to left needle.

Repeat steps 1 - 3 until all live stitches are bound off.
