Notes

My first large stranded project. Was doubtful that the 3 rounds of decreases in the yoke top would work out to be a good fit, but after comparing this pattern to others, it wasn’t much different. And it does look pretty good, even before blocking.

Did a 3x1 rib for the sleeve cuffs and body bottom, and a 2x2 for the collar. Used Jen’s surprisingly stretchy bind off for the collar after trying a sewn bind off and not liking the look of it. Used a size 7 needle on the bind off, 9s elsewhere all around.

Tried it on for an hour before blocking it. Slightly scratchy with just a t-shirt underneath, but not too bad.
