Yarn & Gauge
This pattern was written for superwash Merino yarn which by nature can grow a lot with washing/use. Negative ease has been added to allow for this so if you prefer to use a non superwash or woolly yarn, you may want to go up a needle size as not only will your cover grow less but will also felt a little with use, meaning it will get smaller (and more insulating). The best way to be sure is to gauge swatch.

Construction
Worked bottom up and in the round starting with Judy’s Magic Cast On, increases are made to shape the bottom of the cover. The body is worked in a cabled pattern. The neck is shaped with decreases and finished with a 1x1 or 2x2 rib collar worked using the magic loop method or on DPNs. Magic loop is recommended for the Mini size.
