Notes

As with previous mashups, I basically worked 1 repeat of Chart A, then worked the 2nd end from the cast on. When that end is done, I went back and continued with Chart A some more.

Chart A
Casting on the right number of stitches the first time is helpful

Any repeat markers move on rows 17, 27, and 31.

After doing the first repeat of chart A, I started the second end with Ball 2.

Chart B
I ended up removing repeat markers after a couple of rows because they were annoying me with many jumping YOs.

Chart C
I added back in repeat markers when YOs moved away from the markers.

Any repeat markers will move on row 13.

Row 7’s 7 from 3 stitch is fun, as is purling them on the following row in the silk/mohair yarn. Be careful not to purl any of the stitches together.

The second end basically repeats Charts B and C after the transition.

When picking up for the second end, I know Romi picked up the stitches as she in-zipped the CO, but I like to pick up and count all of my stitches and make sure it’s all good before undoing the CO. It just seems safer that way.

Yarn Usage

Start -
Ball 1 - 24.3 grams
Ball 2 - 24.8 grams
Ball 3 - 24.6 grams
Ball 4 - 23.4 grams

Chart A - repeating rows 1-32
Repeat 1 - Ball 1 - 16.6 g left
Repeat 2 - 9.2 g
Repeat 3 - 2.0 g
Repeat 4 - started Ball 3 on row 10 - 19.1 g
Repeat 5 - 11.8 g
Repeat 6 - 4.3 g
Repeat 7 - started Ball 4 on row 21 - 20.7 g
Repeat 8 - 13.4 g
Repeat 9 - 6.2 g
After row 34 - 5.8 g

“Second” End -
Chart B - started Ball 2 - 18.4 g left
Chart C - 13. 8 g

“First” End -
Chart B - Ball 4 continued - 0.4 g
Chart C - reattached Ball 2 at the very end of row 2 - 9.8 g

A 25ish gram ball got me 3+ repeats of Chart A and the second end took about 11 grams so the ball I used for that is enough for the first end.
