THIS YARN IS SO WEIRD, MAN. Like rope - visually interesting, rough-on-the-hands, slippery-on-the-needles rope. My husband compared it to paracord, hence the project’s name.

Gauge was perfect, so I cast on for the 36” size. Post-decreases, however, the thing was still a big larger than I liked - so I kept on decreasing down to the 33” size (every five rows versus ten to speed things along) and continued from there. Very pleased with the fit, though I wish I had cast on for the 33” size at the beginning.
