× × Not anymore! × × Slipping first knit stitch on each row for cleaner edges.

Got about 3 inches in and realized that I need the stretch that the first knit stitch provides, so I’m starting over.

×× Second attempt made it further, but I HATE the M1 bar increase. It is very sloppy looking. Frogging again and using different increases for the next one.

×× Third time is the charm. I changed the increases to KFB and they look great. I also went to a 7.0 mm needle. I am liking the drape on this size much better.

All finished and loving it. It definitely NEEDS a good blocking. Start at the CO end, so you follow the natural curve of the piece.
