Notes

The first yarn I choose, had a different gauge.
Since it is my first BSJ, to avoid mistakes, I went with the original pattern and got skinnier yarn.
I gathered lots and lots of info and pictures on BSJ.
One tip - stripes must be wide enough to look good!
I casted on the stated amount of stitches… Had to unravel several times. Finally, I got it!
I used KnitPiks needles at first. But they have too pointy ends and were splitting my yarn. I switched to cheaper once. My work was done faster.
At the end I did crochet edging on the neck and one side of the jacket. The one that is tuck under.
I liked this little project.
Will knit it again!
