Yardage notes:

Knit as specified through eyelet section, except eliminated last eyelet repeat due to yardage.

Reversed colors A & B for second striped section. Did not have enough for fourth stockinette stripe in color C, so omitted it.

Final stockinette section (which I worked in color A) was 20 rows instead of 40.

For final garter section, I alternated between color A and color B, 2 rows of each, starting with color B. Ran out of color B first, then finished with color A. I believe I am one garter ridge short.

I thought all of the above would bother me. After blocking, it does not.

Blocked using wires and knit blockers on 3 2x2’ foam mats--finished dimensions will be slightly less than 72” x 24” once it relaxes slightly.

Fun and relaxing knit. Yardage issues can be managed with the right mindset…

One other thought: the four-stitch stockinette edges function in much the same way a knit-in i-cord edge would…and the knit in i-cord would provide a handy place to tuck in the ends from color changes.
