made as specified in the pattern, but subbed yarns, with double-stranded laceweight on the garter portion and a heavier sockweight for the darker hexagon.
This is a great smaller shawl to throw on.

finally gave in and frogged these after they sat on my desk for months.
holding yarn double. the very oldest yarn in my stash, no stitch definition AT ALL.
first try on needles was too tight. stayed with needle size B for the entire tubular cast on, which was a touch loose when all was said and done, but way stretchier.
After viewing a variety of projects that used this pattern, I chose to make a 3 color version instead of two because that’s what I had. And it ended up that I was able to do a 3 color version with only 3 skeins instead of 4. Used the two-color brioche instructions for section 3….
Making the elbow-length, long version of this cardigan. 3/15, almost done with the raglan increases. 4/5: Started waist decreases after sleeves divided off. 4/13: finished bottom and used seed stitch for the bottom edge instead of ribbing. Would like to go back and take out the top stitches and make the top trip seed stitch…
