Notes

Don’t exactly recall when I started this sweater for Charlie, but it’s been lingering in my WIPs for a couple of months at least. The ball band was destroyed shortly after I bought the yarn.

Modifications include:

  • using K1P1 ribbing throughout (for better fit and to make it reversible)
  • bind-off at leg openings (next time I’ll use a stretchy bind-off) and corresponding cast-on the following row
  • short rows across the shoulders
  • switching to flat knitting to open below the abdomen, then tapering with a K2tog at the end of each row
  • some shaping to fit the rump and haunches
  • tail loop
  • garter stitch for 12 rows (also tapering with K2tog at the end of each row)
  • a stretchy bind-off
