Notes

Another fabulous design by the singular Ms. Caitlin.
Nearly 900 people have made this design.
Incredible.

Designed for a bulky.
Working two str DK and one str worsted tog.
Need the dark mauve to tone down the pink of the DK.
The pink is brighty bright.

Using US 17 12.75 mm for gauge (not in database).
My gauge was too small with US 15.
US 17, a little over, but the fabric is very nice.
Elected to omit center vertical line.
Increased two stitches every row.
Such a simple yet elegant design.
For my yardage, worked patt 4x.

Clarification:
Pattern states to repeat rows 1 - 16 five times.
One works rows 1 - 16 once, then, repeat those rows four times.
Not a big deal.
One can work fewer or more as desired.
The design is very forgiving that way.
