I thought I was smart and I substituted the decrease at the top with a CDD (it’s at Row 39, Seat 9). But, looking at it now, I can see that my “fix” wasn’t better. The decrease they have there (SK2P) is better. It’ll allow that decrease line to continue. whereas mine looks a little bulky.
What I Used
Yarn: Berroco Renew in 1360 Blue Tang – 35% Viscose, 30% Wool, 30% Nylon, 5% Cashmere (164 yds [150 m] per 50 g)
Needles: US#7 (4.5 mm) sharp steel tips (Chiaogoo – affiliate link)
Blocking Method: Steam
Other Thoughts: This yarn is WONDERFUL! The stitch definition, the sproinginess, the hand, the softness and the depth of color (it’s a solid but the strand isn’t just a single color). And while it says to handwash it, I suspect it’ll take to a washer just fine. I don’t think I’d put it in a dryer, although I’ve been known to knit up a swatch to see how it does in both the washer and dryer.
The yarn was sent to me by Berroco, but the above opinions are all mine.
