In retrospect, I would like to have increased more (because the border seems a tad wider than the body), but since I had a pattern I decided to roll with it. In the end, I was VERY pleased with the final product, so I believe I&#8217;ll stop whining now. The Scotties are from a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/design-a---scottie-dog-cardigans-beret-and-shoes\">sweater pattern<\/a>.

It was so much looser than my cast on that I had to rip it out and do a more traditional bind off. That was too tight.
