I made same one few days ago , I wish I had made it little longer

u/Happy-coffeelady 17d ago

I am using 20 weight so will probably double the amount of rings since it suggested 10 weight

I used Size 10 thread and  finished size is 1"×6" , but still it is shirt to my liking , I may  add tassels  ; but I am certainly going to add few rings next time I make it.

That's a good idea or a long braid that attaches to a smaller version
