Cast on using… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTIBTm0QL6A

and a size 10 needle. Knit one row, switched to a size 6 needle.

Finished the first skein on row 58

The transition from chart 5 to chart 6 is not intuitive because the two patterns do not line up perfectly. However, the stitch counts work out, and the transition doesn’t look clunky when knit. Trust the charts.

Yardage estimate is rough since Madeline Tosh does’t list a yarn weight on their label.
