Used a much smaller needle than called for in the pattern to get a less floppy fabric. My nephew used the one I made for his mom to determine he wanted 4 complete leaves so it fitted his neck with just a few inches of positive ease. Nice bonus: I had enough yarn left to make another Vite.

I ended up making 5 leaves and overlapped the first over the last so if he wants it bigger later (or grows!) we can expand the size.
