    About

    1. 56th row is 250 stitches; to get 260 on 57th substitute SKP with SKP2.
    2. 64th row is 260 stitches; to get 390 on 65th substitute K2, M1 with K1, M2.
    3. 69th row is the Placement Row; not where the chart indicates. Row 69 is actually chart row 2.
    4. 115th row do not repeat 113th; K6 *P1, K7, rep from * to last 2 stitches, P1, K1.
    5. After 115th it says repeat last 2 rows twice more; this ends on 119th so next round is the 120nd not 121st.
    6. 121st row should have a * before the SKP as the start of the repeat.
    7. Border; curled in on itself, despite 'easing' stitches that had been knitted from the last round. Knitted my own pattern & continued on circle needle; much quicker than knitting in only one of the 720 stitches every two rows.
    When complete it was saggy and formless, should have been on smaller needles. Unpicked and reused the yarn for another project.

    Pattern

    Teddy Shawl

    Needles & Hooks

    • Circular 5.00mm (US 8) 100cm
    • Double Point 5.00mm (US 8) 20cm

    Accessories

    • Stitch Markers
    Other : Small bows

    Measurements

    60 inch

    Notes: The pattern states a total of 650 grm DK wool; it actually took 1050 grm (2520m). The pattern doesn't give a recommended length for the circular needle; you will need >=100cm to accommodate the maximum 800 stitches.
    I chose not to knit in a second colour for the teddy faces as the contrasting colour did not weave well behind the main lighter colour. Instead I knitted the faces with purl stitch and will hand-wove the contrast onto the faces afterwards.
