Notes

Using yarns from my stash, and I’m short on the dark grey, so I’ll adjust the pattern as necessary.

Colour A: Driftwood, light gray.
Colour B: Black Truffle, dark gray.
Colour C: Velvet Slippers, pink.
Colour D: Water’s Edge, blue.

ETA: Only did two ‘flower’ rows on the last sequence, and changed the colour of those two rows to colour D (light blue) instead of colour C.

Bound off (as in pattern) with Colour C.

Blocked out to 87” x 22”. 221cm x 56cm.

ETA, 28th May 2018: When I blocked it, a hole appeared, which proved to be unmendable! It ran and ran, so I cut my losses and ripped back 40 rows and did a re knit. I’m ok with that because I changed the bind off (which was already in pink), to a chunkier I-cord bind off, which I much prefer. It adds a nice touch to the final end.heartpulse

Sl 1 wyif, k1, (slip 2 sts back to LH needle, k1, k2tog tbl) to end, slip first stitch on RH needle over last stitch, break yarn and pull through last stitch.
