Once I got the hang of this stitch it was really fun! It is a nice change from the usual suspects, seed stitch, garter, rib etc etc. Although this yarn is beautiful, has great squish factor and is super warm and soft, it is fuzzy and that was a bit annoying when trying to master a new stitch. I think I will look for a smoother yarn such as Cascade baby Alpaca or something similar next time. I pushed through and made it the full 14” width even though I was doubting the pattern. Soooo glad I did! It goes over your head as a snood and there is plenty to loop around your neck. It is a beautiful piece!
