Notes

FO weight = 98 grams. Used 3 of the mini-skeins and more than 1/2 a skein of some blue that may be Lake Placid. Update - it’s darker than Lake Placid - not sure what it is. One of the mini-skeins is Lake Placid.

Only cast on 72 stitches and had 3 garter stitches (vs 5) at each side and 6 repeats of 11-stitch pattern. Otherwise I thought it would be too wide.

After washing and drying - 24 inches long and 12 inches wide at the ends, 10.5 inches in the middle. If I followed the pattern and did the garter stripes it would have stayed the same width. D’oh!

Next time make as wide as the pattern to see. The size I made works but looks narrow in the middle.
