Notes

This comes out pretty big, so if you’re a loose knitter, go down a needle size or reduce the number of cast on stitches.

Otherwise, it turned out nicely (still fits comfortably). The loose fit will probably not mess up my hair too much. Bonus!

20” wide lying flat x 8” tall

If I wanted to get a truer fade, I would use all speckled yarn that blended better together.

A (Dirty Panther): 36.5g; 1.7g left

C (Tien Tsi Pepper): 15.4g; 6.2g left
