Started with size 4’s for the flat sections, and then plan on switching to 5's for the knitting in the round because my gauge is usually tighter in the round
Gauge is off by one stitch (I didn’t swatch), so I am adjusting by adding more length. Not too worried about it being too small, because I think this yarn will grow (bamboo/cotton usually does) and if it doesn’t fit me it will probably fit my sister. I just wanted a quick project to get my knitting mojo back
Top back and left strap done. Starting on right strap
Plan on crocheting around as edging instead of ribbing, because that worked well for my Versailles shell, and it seems pointless to pick up all around for just a few rows of ribbing. Plus I like the look of a crocheted border.
