Notes

A very sweet design.

Mind the needles:
Have a method in place to remember to change needles with each section. It is easy to forget that step.

Swatch:
Knitters have noted that their projects shrank significantly upon MW / tumble dry. My swatch shrank lengthwise.

I started with 126 cast on, smaller needles and the beginning band was 28”. I felt that was too narrow, so, started over with 144, so the bands would be 32”.
That resulted in a better proportion.

Plan:
CO 144, hems and inserts.
288 stitches, main st st sections.

Garter st border, 1”, 10 rows, light rosa.
8 main sections, 28 rows each, which used entire skein of each individual color.
7 eyelet row sets, 9 r, 7 r alt, light rosa.
Garter border, 1”, 10 rows, light rosa.

Did not use skein of white.
