13 rounds after the thumb, not counting the join
Made with handspun that Emi gave Ryn: Two if by Hand Ring Nebula, 75% merino/25% nylon, 225yds/4oz
15 rows garter, 10 rows eyelet
The chart is confusing/inaccurate: every round with cabling should be followed by a round in the established pattern of knits and purls. (do not need extra rounds following rounds 1, 13, 14, 24, or 25)
Additionally, instead of moving the BoR marker, I added another marker between stitches 6 and 7 for the offset section, rounds 16-22)
(i did have to rip back and restart after the ribbing when I realized the cabling did not look like the photo, and that the note about “wrong side rows” was an instruction for “rounds following a cabled round”!)
Two extra rows before sleeve separation
Sleeve: pick up 7 underarm stitches, knit 7 pattern repeats plus 5 rounds counter should read 6/8
Ended up a little shorter than pattern calls for, maybe 1/4 – 1/2 inch, but I was worried about running out of yarn! Used almost the whole skein.
Have not (yet) blocked – fits close if brim is folded over, slouchy if not.
9 pattern repeats gets thru the Venus stripe
