Notes

September 18, 2023

2 strands of each yarn
Size L at slightly different gauge to get size M

September 23, 2023

3 chart repeats done out of a total of 15 repeats, 1/5 or 20% done

October 17, 2023

Bad news: I thought it would be done, but I had my sis trying it on and I need to add a few more repeats
Good news: she loves it!

November 4, 2023

Added 4 repeats to make it wider
I am terrible at sewing… used mattress stistich, then went back on it on the reverse for a neater, flatter seam

NOTE to self:
If I knit it again, instead of a long piece to fold and sew, I would knit front and back together, then separate at the neck and use kitchener stich to join it again

Looks great on my niece, she was visiting for the week-end so I used her a courier - my sister is delighted!
Hoping to get pics from her soon
