Split my turquoise ball into one third and two thirds.

Used a 2.5mm needle for garter stitch edge as that’s what I had.

You do need to block this… just because it doesn’t have holes doesn’t mean it won’t benefit from a good stretch…

blocked to 63” wide and 22.5” deep.
gauge - 5 stitches per inch

I am a loose knitter and didn’t bother using a smaller needle.

lovely lovely fabric.
