Notes

Got gauge with size 7 needles for this yarn…I love it! So soft and squishy.

Some notes so I could use up most of my yarn:

  1. I cast on 80 sts (2 extra repeats)
  2. I did all the charts as written except after chart B, I did a section of seed stitch for 29 rows (enough so I ended up at the same place as at the end of chart A) and knit chart B once more.

I ended up with just a bit of my final ball of yarn left (I think I could have done a few more rows of seed stitch that I did in note 2) and it is HUGE. I have washed and blocked…can’t wait to take it off the wires!

Final measurements are 75 by 18 inches. I’m sure I’ll be wearing this a lot and especially when I’m traveling (I get cold very easily).

The color is true in the pics I’m wearing this…added some detail shots to see the stitch patterns and the seed stitch section I added in the middle.
