Notes

Pattern Notes:
The plan is to use all the yarn without running out by the end (fingers crossed I win yarn tag LOL). Since it runs on the bias in which each row adds one stitch (YO) for the first half, I’ll continue that until I’m close to end of half of the skeins, leaving a safe leeway. Then I’ll start the K2tog for the second half (remaining skeins).

I’m hoping for 55-60” square or so …

Needles:
Using a 6.0mm size 10 circular size. Started with about 24-28” circular needle, then changed to 40” circular as the afghan grew. I’ll go back to 24-28” size when I’m in the latter part of the 2nd half when it’s fewer stitches again. Simple.

Yarn:
Fabulous yarn that I’ve used before in a solid pink. Can’t really see stitches with the texture, but that’s what is also glorious about the finished project. Knitting with it seems far easier than crocheting with it, too, since I have the stitches on the needle and can see them easily as I go along.
