Notes

Test knit for Susan stitchnerd :) Double loop.

MC: Traveler Aran in Morticia Color
CC: Noro Kureyon in pinks/reds/purples

Yarn spent per section:

  • Cast on and Bottom rolls: 42 gr of MC
  • Checkers pattern: 86 gr of MC and 65 gr of CC
  • Top rolls and bind off: 37 gr of MC

Final measurements (blocked):
55 inches of circumference
9 inches tall/wide

7 December 2014: Cast on 240 stitches with 4.5 mm needles. After the rolls with the main color I changed needle to the 5.00 mm as adviced by the designer.
14 December 2014: I finished my first skein of each color and I still need to go a bit further into the pattern because I like them wide and cozy. Current width is 7 inches from the border. I think I need at least 9-10 inches.
20 December 2014: Binding off.
