Notes

Pattern gifted to me by beedragon - thank you!

9 sections -- based on the calculations in the pattern, this should use up most of my yarn with a bit to spare.

I used long tail 1x1 rib cast on, and put a marker every 20 stitches to help me keep track during the cast on. Leaving them in place so I don’t have to put them back before beginning the lace.

This was my transit-and-waiting-rooms project for a while, and lived in my bag, so only got worked on when away from home until I reached the lace section.

I accidentally ended up doing 41 or 42 rounds of ribbing, probably counted wrong, oh well -- not tinking back!

Used lots of extra markers in the lace section, such as in the areas marked no-stitch in the chart, because my concentration has often been quite poor lately. Both written directions and chart were quite clear, though.

Only 3 yards left after binding off -- a little too close! But my fault for knitting a few extra rows of ribbing and not checking gauge, and it worked out fine.

Blocking dimensions:

  • 17.5” radius to each point (pinned measuring tape used as a compass, as shown)
  • 360°/9 = 40° between each point (protractor app on phone, not shown because also used phone to take the pics)

Pictures of it being worn were on the second wearing and about 2 weeks after it was blocked, so it had relaxed. Perfect size for wrapping twice, and only a slight bit of curl on the points of the leaf motifs.
