3-7-14: Cast on 48 stitches in leftover stitch red yarn from my Deux Hat. Did one row of purl. Then started in with the pattern 3x1 rib. This is 12 fewer stitches than the pattern calls for, as I want to make this a tighter/warmer fit around the neck. Hopefully it will not be too tight.

Rasta Gauge:

7.5 stitches over 3 inches in stockinette before blocking
7 stitches over 3 inches in 2x2 rib before blocking
Both on size 10 Bamboo DPNs

My notes from the last one I did said to cast on 16 fewer stitches and make it a lot taller. I didn’t make a note of the needles I used (grrrr…..) but they are bamboo circulars. I’m guessing 11 or 13.
