Done! Just have to pull out all the dog hair. (Why don’t I just knit with dog hair?!?)

Easy pattern and it looks great. It was a gift for a friend’s daughter, but when my daughter saw it, she grabbed it for herself. So now I’m knitting another one…Two projects with black yarn back-to-back…good thing they’re small items! And thank goodness for OttLite.

Am working with a supposed Aran instead of bulky, but got gauge with US 10 circ. I think this yarn is actually a bulky weight.
