The Cast-On edge is the width. Below is an approximate size chart:
CO 17 STS = 13″ wide
CO 23 STS = 17″ wide
CO 27 STS = 20″ wide
CO 31 STS = 24″ wide
You can make it larger using multiple skeins of yarn. However, in my experience, the Jersey Be Good yarn is custom, making each skein slightly different in thickness, so they might not match up perfectly.
Notes
Reversible.
CO edge is the width.
This is a 1 skein project.
Knit using the seed stitch.
