Notes

Followed pattern directions exactly as written.
Began decrease at row 48 instead of row 47, and decreased six times until 12 total stitches remaining (6 on each side) before cutting and pulling yarn through.

May use 4.5 mm needles next time as I was knitting too loosely which led to a bit of inconsistency in tension. also will make it a little longer by adding more rows towards the end.

Concise, well written pattern even though designer hadn’t knit one before!
Fun to knit for my first attempt at colorwork.
