Notes

Started this for a Summer Sweater Knit-a-long. It will also be the third sweater I’ve made with this yarn to have matching family sweaters. I sweaters with this yarn for my husband and daughter.

No mods on the back, except for knitting 1/2 inch longer before the armhole shaping.

Sleeves: Went with XS size since many reported issues with bagginess at the top of the sleeve. I knit it for 14 inches instead of 12 to make it a little longer.
