Testing the gauge with 3.5mm needles. I think it miiight be a bit too tight, but I’m going to finish off a skein and wash & see how it turns out.

The Pleated pattern is awesome, although the chart key gets a bit confusing - “wyif – slip stitch as if to purl with yarn in back” took me a while to figure out what to do, since the “wyif” and “with yarn in back” contradict each other. Hint: ignore the “wyif” and just slip the stitch purlwise with the yarn in back.
