I saw a sample of this pattern made with this yarn at the shop, and even though the pattern says DK, the sample was absolutely made with fingering weight. Since it’s lacy and a cowl, I doubt it’ll make much difference either way, so I’m going to just go for it.

Section A is done! Spent about the last 2 hours trying to fix an off-by-one error, “fixing” it backwards, and then ripping it out and fixing it again correctly. Oops. BUT, I should be good to go now, and have the correct number of stitches to get going on Section B!

Finished up and blocked!
I ended up ripping out the last couple rows of the pattern and doing a sort of 3-needle bind off directly to the cast on edge, to make the connection point look more similar to the rest of the pattern.

I’m not sure why the cast on and bind off edges aren’t the same number of stitches (42 vs 38). Definitely recommend altering the number of increases or something to line that up accurately. Feels like a bit of a fudge in order to make the pattern instructions simpler, and it wouldn’t be too hard to tweak it to fix if you’re planning for the change.
