Knit to pattern. Used standard stretchy bindoff on ribbed edge. starting the double knit edge…

January 28, 2026

Finished today and blocking now. This was my purse knitting project for the last couple of months and was really nice to just knit a row here and there while at church or waiting in line. Until I needed to alternate skeins for the miles of double knitting lol

May 4, 2026

It just sat awkwardly on my head and neck. Didn’t reach my collar, so I undid the bind off and the double knit edges on the ribbon and extended it to 4 inches in length. The original pattern as a knit just was way too short. I was inspired by the fit of the Lena Hood to go up a needle size to 3.25 mm for the second part of the ribbing (instead of increases) so it would sit around the top of my shoulders and neck, and then added two snap fasteners. So much happier with it!
