Unblocked gauge in stocking stitch 18 stitches to 10cm/4inches

Decided to try a wider band and see how it works. I now have the increaes from the band matching the pattern stitch.

This one was pretty tight for 1 ball of Perfect Day, didn’t need to undo my small swatch but it was very close to that, so I’ve noted in the pattern that you may need a second ball for this size.

Just love this yarn, have not had good experiences with alpaca yarns in the past as I have super sensitive skin but I loved knitting this and am now thinking of buying a garment lot.
