Notes

A custom order to match the colors used in the pattern.

This yarn is a little thinner but didn’t have any of the Merino Gold Batik left, so it was hard to match the gauge. In the end I just went up a needle size and added another 3 sts and hoped it would block out to size.
Oh no, did it again! It’s too big…..

Back to size 3 needles, no extra sts.
