Used “Traveling Loop” for the whole thing except for the last 4 rows. Switched to DPNs for the last 4 rows. Started decrease after 7 inches of pattern. (8 of the 13 lace pattern repeats) Would need a smaller gauge needle for ribbing if I make one for my teenage daughter. It is a little loose on her. Would recommend using a lifeline occasionally. This one took a little over 1 skein. Ran out 3 rows before finishing.
