Step by step verson.

Learnt German twisted cast on! Used this video:

Not as bad as I’d been led to believe by other videos ;)

CO 76, using Hayfield Bonus chunky (0740 Teal) with 5mm needles.

Did another couple of rows, introducing 0687 Aquamarine (more turquoise tbh). It’s working up quite big - might need to go down a needle size, but I’ll use this as a prototype.

More rows. Bit worried it’s not going to be sturdy enough :(

Section 1: R1-10 (slipped 4 sts before S2)

Realise the inside is a bit messy - at first i was twisting the yarns around each other, but they were getting very tangled. Finally figured out I should take one yarn underneath the other and then the other one goes on top. Much less tangling that way.

But then it seems that I swapped dominant yarn from time to time and there’s a few odd floats that are out of sequence - aargh! Definitely a learning curve :)

Decrease: omitted R8.
Note: decrease R7 & R9 were very tricky, even with tiny shanks & interchangeable cable & using magic loop!
