Notes

All the while that I was knitting this, I thought the yarn was linen, but it’s cotton! Was easy on the hands and has a lovely drape. I blocked with a steam iron.

My only mod was to go up a size in width, not length for the back panels. (I’ve gained some weight in the mid section, and like plenty of ease). Had 23gms total remaining yarn.

I hate swatching so I made my usual 4x2” piece starting with the recommended needle size for the first inch and going down a size for the seconded inch as I usually have to go down. Then I washed and dried as I will my FO--yes I went down a size on the needle. This is my first time knitting with this yarn, so swatching was important even if I take the easy way out :)
