Notes

Did almost 2 inches of ribbing with size 5 needles before switching to 7’s, because I have a problem with hats slipping off my head due to too loose ribbing.
I am LOVING how this yarn is knitting up! I will have to dye more variegated skeins in the future. The reverse stockinette looks GORGEOUS!

This took surprisingly little yarn! Not nearly as much as the pattern calls for, although this yarn is more of an aran weight. Still…117 yards is a far cry from 200!
