Notes

This is very ambitious and maybe totally crazy but I loved this so much I wanted to make one for my king size bed. I started with a chain of 420 (i think), which is 2 complete pattern starting chains plus 100 more. I had quite a few chains left over but ended up with 15 pattern repeats (14 peaks) to make the right width.

I did the border rounds 2 times.

I’m finished with my king size ensemble and I’m not sure I’m totally in love with everything but I like it all well enough and I’m glad to be done.
