Notes

MOD: for the Latvian braid on the edge, instead of repeating bringing the yarn under the second time around, I twisted the yarn over. This would unwind the twist put in by the first row of braid, and make my yarn much easier to deal with later. :)

I used the entire skein of the lining Fresco yarn and about half a skein for the two colors of Cascade.

I used size 4 needles (my grandmother’s!) for the outside part of the knit, and size 3 for the lining. Very happy with the end result, and hopefully they fit well!
