Notes

02-27-2025

I swatched and got the correct gauge with 7s. I cast on and did the short row neck shaping and increase rounds but now I need to wait until my 32” 7s and the first color of my rainbow arrive.

02-28-2025

Started making size 68. I began by casting on 94 and I’ll pick up and knit the neck ribbing later.

04-01-2025

If I were going to knit this again, I think I would increase the yoke over a greater number of rows to help with the rippling. I love how the colorwork turned out though. The yarn is extremely soft after washing, though it is starting to pill. It’s also very warm and cozy.

The yoke might have rippled less if I started with the collar ribbing instead of picking it up later, but I think the neckline would have stretched out.
