Notes

My row gauge was slightly off, but not enough to change needle size. I’m making a size 1, as I know that this yarn stretches in width after wearing.

I made a mistake when picking up the sts for the right front, and picked up the last sts through both legs of the cast on, rather than just the back legs.
I didn’t realise until I came to starting the left front, where I should’ve picked up just from the front legs. As these were now not available, I picked up from the back legs, behind the right front, instead.
This means that my back is crossed the wrong way, but there was absolutely no way I was frogging the whole of the left front and knitting again.
I should read (and double check) more carefully…I did actually read it correctly, but when I actually picked them up I was counting, and making sure that I finished picking up in the right place. Luckily it wasn’t a big problem…

Finished weight is just 140g, 784m.
