Using worsted weight (#4) yarn with a 24” circular. I had to adjust the pattern to come close to the dimensions but with thinner yarn. As a beginner I did not want to mess with double strand project as my first one on circulars.

So far so good. I have a weird CO count because I originally thought I would do 9 smaller ‘boxes’ for the inset pattern. I stuck with 5, but as I had already cast on and did not want to start over, the numbers may seem weird. I wanted to make sure the width was at least 20” so I did a gauge swatch to approximate a range for the number of stitches to CO.

I really should get a move on with this one. (it is now January 2016!)
