Notes

CO 27 st for swatch, try hobbii Evergreen (in ribbing) and Flora. 3.5 and 5 mms needles.
(full!) skein weight:
Kid-Silk 24.3g, Flora 50.6g, Evergreen 48.5g.

Both combinations would be fine, I chose Flora with the lighter colour, closer to Kid Silk.

CO 120 stitches with 3 + 3.5 mm needle.

Not a good TV project, not even the ribbing… Have to keep an eye on picking both strands of yarn. Tricky cable stitch, but I’ll continue practicing.

Ribbing finished: 3 mm needle with little tension, 5 cm, 15 rows, weighs approximately 12 g. Comfortable fit on my 55 cm head circumference.
