Notes

104 stitches, provisional crocheted onto needle cast-on, seed stitch first 5 rows, seed stitch first and last 4 stitches of each row.

August 2024: Better get this done before I head to Texas to welcome grandson Othello into the world via my daughter’s scheduled C-section on 9/9/24.

8/31/24: Decided to try an Icelandic bind off and I’m really liking the way it looks (not in pattern but plays nicely with the seed stitch) and feels (stretchy but not so much that I need to go down needle sizes from 10.5). https://youtu.be/G6-qqh1toIk?si=HNS3j5qKIsF2hPmg
