Notes

Perfect knitting for these difficult times! Many thanks, Bev Johnson for the pattern and the chance to test knit it.

This pattern allows for so many combinations and creativity in color, texture, and weight variations and the chance to do some stash diving while staying at home. It also allows for choice in size and since my preference leans toward the smaller, I chose to do 11 repeats of the main body and a proportional 17 rows of the simple border.

This will be my go to for a light, yet snuggley hug while we’re all alone together.

Because I knit on the loose side, I went down a needle size throughout.
My yarn usage:

2- 96.70/49.42

5- 93.38/47.66
6- 91.42/46.49
7- 89.41/45.47
8- 87.07/44.31
9- 84.27/42.74
10-80.93/40.92
11-77.67/39.31
57.39/28.62 after 17 rows of simple border
55.78/27.72 after stretchy bindoff
10.75x43” unblocked
