Made size using rows 1-39. After blocking, approximately 12” diameter.

If I make this pattern again, instead of m3 (as the pattern is written) I would use eloop, k1, eloop OR yo, k1, yo increases.

Changes to pattern:
-eloop increases instead of m3 on rows 1-17 to give further contrast to center portion.
-SSK instead instead of slip 1, k1, psso
-blocked with points instead of hexagon and did not agressively block the picot border.
