166 rounds: 6-50-4-46-4-50-6 + i-cord edging and steeking

Final Garter Mods: A) I only did 4 rnds of garter stitch after Chart C rather than 6 because the last two rnds of Chart C give the visual appearance of one garter ridge. An additional 4 rnds gives a total of three ridges, matching the beginning. B) On the last round (Color B), sl the twisted purl st wyib. This gives a better appearance with the i-cord BO mod below.

i-cord Bind Off Mod: I slightly tweaked the i-cord bind off to keep the visual lines with the color A columns along the edge of the steek as follows:

first RS row of BO instructions:
(RS): sl1, k27, then with DPN: ^k2, ssk, sl 3 sts back to ln; rep from ^ until 2 sts before last marker is reached; sl following three sts (2 Color A sts and twisted purl st) onto second dpn, fold dpns so the first and last sts are across from one another (see photo -- INSERT PHOTO OF THIS) and kitchener.

i-cord Bind Off SSK Note: If you’re like me and normally do your ssk’s so that the second stitch is slipped as if to purl, return to the more traditional method where both stitches are slipped individually as if to knit. This ensures that the last row of knitting isn’t twisted once the i-cord is done.
