Started out doing bottom up with plans to kitchener, but then my cast on wasn’t as pretty as I liked, so I flipped it on end and seamed up the cast on edge for the top. did several tack stitches to define the ears. It’s a little loose after wearing all day, but not bad….
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.
