Interesting pattern. I added an extra increase four times to give it a bit more of a crescent shape - hard to see in the unblocked photos but wait till I get it on the blocks - this baby really needs blocking! I also didn’t slip stitch into the V-stitches at the beginning and end of rows - I just don’t personally like the bumpiness that particular design decision creates.

Once I figured out the pattern I was okay but really wish there was a chart, especially for the border as mine didn’t match the photo because I think her photo had parts of the third row rather then the “row 2” like it was marked, since it was row three that had the sc’s into the chain spaces and the picot. But I do like how it turned out. The yarn is pretty enough but seemed sort of crinkly. Will wait to see how it blocks.

I had 13 grams of yarn left.

Blocked out lovely, still need to get some outdoor sunshiny model photos! The yarn softened up and I got quite a few compliments on the colors.
