Notes

With matching wrist warmers

Swatch: preblocking, on 5s I get 13sts/2” and on 6s I get 11.5sts/2”. Post blocking I’m getting 13.5sts/2” and 12.5sts/2”. Um…. no?

Bah, I’m just going to do it on 6s.

Sizing this down for a child
CO 234 (6 pattern repeats)
Omit rows 1-12, 37-40, 48-49, and 61-62.
Knit ribbing to 6” or so.

Mods for her
I’m splitting the neck after about an inch of ribbing and doing the rest flat. I’ll add a closure so she can convert it quickly to turtleneck or asymmetric.

Used Lori’s twisty BO for 2x2 ribbing, and it turned out perfect!! Doesn’t draw in or flare, and matches my CO perfectly.

The yarn just keeps bleeding….

Color is most accurate in first photo.

Time to admit it: I’m not going to do anything else with this. (I needed to sew down a little of the ribbon.)
