My version: I used 4 skeins of Noro Silk Garden Cash Iroha and had enough for one additional repeat but finished with only 3 rows of knit. I'm very pleased with the results and will try this pattern again with a different yarn.

Oh, that's lovely! Just to be sure: Do you cast on the size 15/17 needles? I see the last 5 rows are done on the size 8s, and I just want to be sure that the pattern doesn't begin with them too.
I'm not sure. This isn't my pattern, but one I salvaged from a now-defunct website.
I'm not switching for the cast-off as I like a nice loose edge.
Thanks. I couldn't figure out why the cast-on would use one but the bind-off another. Wouldn't one want a balanced look?
I like loose edges, too.
Perhaps the reason for the switch to much smaller needles is to create a curved edge to give some sort of shaping the the neckline?
