Notes

Project notes:

Léttlopi works perfectly for gauge on recommended needle sizes.

Casted on w/US size 8 needles, changed to US size 6 for ribbing.

Added one additional stripe to motif for color play.

Soaked in warm water and a tiny bit of extra volume hair conditioner (Moroccan Oil™ brand, my fave) for softness… a trick I learned from Ragga Eiríksdóttir :) Give a very light rinse in clean water after soaking.

Blocked flat, steamed out creases. Hmmm… To pom-pom or not to pom-pom? Next time, I’d like to try a hat form for blocking!

Such a fun and rewarding little project. I’m so glad I joined the KAL :) Thank you Andrea and Anna for an awesome pattern and for breaking my knitting dry spell!
