I am so so loving this pattern!
Pre-block measurements are 53” inner circle and 11” wide.
Post block measurements are 59” inner circle and almost 16” wide.
5/9/14 Whew … I believe one could pin and pin and pin and it would never be perfect. However, I think I am going to be quite pleased in the morning! I don’t believe I have ever pinned, re-pinned and pinned again to actually end up using the least amount of pins ever!
I decided to let most of the picots just be, and only pin the tr picot of each petal. I even thought about not blocking the edging at all.
5/6/14 Row C finished and 7.2g left of first skein.
5/1/14 After completing the body, I have 35g left of my first skein.
4/24/14 I am about halfway through the body of this wrap. The only change I made in working this pattern is at the end/beginning of the rows. I found I was having trouble with the Ch3, turn. Work dc in each of next 4 st. Instead, I am working ch2 turn, work actual number of stitches (5) …
Row 4: Ch 3, turn. Work a dc in very 1st st alongside 3 ch (increase made). I ch 2 turn, work 2 dc in first st (increase made). On the short rows, I ch 1 turn, hdc 16 st.
This pattern is written very clear. I made this change because I learned and for 40+ years have chained, one less on turning then the actual stitch and work full stitch count. I worked the first 3 repeats as the pattern is written but made the change because of my turning habits. Old habits die hard!!! :)
Oh, did I mention I love this design! Another great one, Julie and Gina!
