This is lovely cashmere, alpaca and silk yarn that I bought for a t-shirt but couldn’t use (the stitches were disappearing on the needle). Made a cowl holding the yarn triple-stranded. But I never wore it so finally ripped out the cowl and used the yarn for a hat.

I have to admit that I got lost with the 7th decrease round but continued on in pattern and the stitch numbers all worked out just fine.
