Pattern is really nice and is spot on but does seem slightly big when done but I have pretty short hair. We’ll see what the recipient says when she tries it on as she has pretty thick hair.

The only change I made to the pattern was to make the bottom rib with size 6US needles to help it stay on better.

This yarn is not for the novice or squeamish. lol. It’s VERY loosely spun so splits like crazy while you’re knitting. I’m not a fan of jumping on the “splitty” bandwagon but whew! This yarn qualifies. However, having said that, look at those colors! Wowza! Just gorgeous. Definitely worth the bit of extra time to make sure you’ve caught all the strands while you’re knitting.
