Notes

Mods: knit to 90 stitches + 10 stitches border for the body, then started the decreases immediately, since I wanted a pointy tip. Picked up 10 stitches per pattern repeat for ruffle. It is a little too much, 7 would have been better and I could have made the ruffle a little longer then.

Pre-washing measurements: 170cm long and 56cm wide at the widest part.

It took me the whole cone, just a little left . I might have had enough for one more row, but I did not want to risk it.

I finally found the perfect pattern for this yarn, I think. The yarn is amazing…..!
The last photo is my first try with this yarn that got frogged, I originally wanted a textured shawl/wrap, but I think this pattern will work better with it.

25/10 finished the body part.
07/11 finished the shawl.

These are pre-washed photos. The shawl is now drying and the yarn fulled a lot after a hot wash.
