Still needs blocking, and will need fairly strong blocking to get rectangular.

A nice project for long stretches of meetings and videos (and yes, video meetings)

Did the buttonholes, not sure if at correct intervals. Not sure if I’m going to add buttons, will probably wait until I’m comfortable going to stores in person.

Pattern is very confusing to read in sections where color is changing and for buttonhole placement! Ended up copying into word and reformatting a couple of sections.

At 50% of rows, have 56.5% of yarn left

Tried to make a pompom but didn’t pull tight enough, and tbqh didn’t have enough of the blue. But a soft and comfy hat nonetheless.

This project was much more enjoyable than I expected, although it was not at ALL a project I could travel with. Instead it was good for sitting and listening to a podcast or watching a movie. After about the first 3 or 4 repeats I even figured out the rhythm so I didn’t have to look up the pattern, though I did have to count every single row.

Total number of feathers: 21, with probably not quite enough yarn for a 22nd.
