I worked pattern almost exactly as written using of stockinette for my body. I worked 3 border repeats to use 90% of the skein.

One minor adjustment was during BO. I worked it as:

K, k, slip sts back and k2tog (NOT tlb)

When I came to the peaks during BO I worked a quick short row to add a central bead as:

K, p2tog and place bead on this st, k, turn
Sl st pw, k, turn
Continue BO as k, k, slip sts back and k2tog
