Notes

Did not make any changes to the pattern. There are a few places where I found the pattern to be a bit misleading. The designer could certainly be more clear about the number of times decreases need to be repeated. I think the designer sacrificed clarity to get the layout to fit the way he wanted it. Even still, I was able to figure it out with a little basic math, so it wasn’t the end of the world.

I will definitely be using this yarn again for sweaters. It’s great quality for the price. Extremely soft and warm with generous yardage. The heathered colors are also exceptional.
