Going for a circumference bigger than 68.5cms for a comfortable fit.

Multiple of 2.

Fdc 124 to 73 cms.

Gotta remember to pay attention to whether it needs to be TURNED or not on each round.

Ha, realised three-quarters through that I’ve been doing an hdc in the third loop rather than a dc. Makes the section a bit shorter but that’s okay.

Only went to row 12 of the second repeat cos that was the end of the skein, and the other Adaminaby skein is much paler and fluffier so the two don’t really go together. No worries, it’s still plenty tall and at least the hdc round is a decent enough finish.

Every time I do an alpine pattern, I swear I will never do it again cos it’s so freaking boring to my brain. And yet it keeps sneaking into patterns I choose. Oh well.
