Notes: It’s been frogged. I started this pattern before I had a good understanding of drape, how certain fibers would knit up, and um, gauge (I doubt I washed my swatch). It looked really awesome, flat. But on, it was way too wide, the cotton stretched in width way too much by the time I had it seamed. I loved the pattern and will probably knit it again with a different yarn, the cotton was way to heavy.
