Notes

Cast on for a size 2, frogged on August 2nd. I plan to cast on for a size 4 instead because I’ve read some comments suggesting that the size 2 is really small. This was a quick knit, made more complicated by knitting while tired and alternating rows of a self-striping yarn.

Mods: didn’t change needle size for ribbing. The pocket was also out of alignment, so I had to get creative.
