Notes

Color A - Purple Basil
Color B - Loden
Color C - Daffodil

32” circular

Carried alternate yarn up the side, no need to weave in all those ends!!!

I didn’t like the BO edge on the eyelet section, I wanted something a little more sturdy and to tie back in colors A and B.

Bind-Off Mods:
Row 1 & 2 (Section 1) with color B
3 stitch I-cord BO with color A

It took about 15 rinses in vinegar before the Purple Basil stopped running dye. It did not hurt the other yarn I just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t ruin my clothes.
