Notes

Finished! Knit 12 repeats, then bound off. Knit about 1 repeat per day. Bind-off is not loose enough, although I did it with a size 4.5 mm needle - might have to do it again. I am quite astonished that I used so little yarn - only approx. 56 grams, I thought I would use up nearly the entire skein.

Size before blocking: 30 cm x 104 cm.

I enjoyed knitting this a lot, the pattern is quite easy, although I still had to glance at the chart for the big panel occasionally ;-) Now waiting anxiously how it turns out after blocking. If it is not long enough, I might add a few repeats, since I’ve still got plenty of yarn left.

Size after blocking: 40 cm x 130 cm - a bit on the short side but I’ll leave it like this for the moment.
