Notes

See my notes in last photo.

Hoping to use the bin of left over, mostly sport and fingering yarn. Most of it is Sunday Knits left over yarn.

Swatching. First square gets an F-. Switched to #6 Second swatch gets a B-!!!

Suzanne Bryan has a good video on how to knit color work flat. https://youtu.be/qYjQu5EqK1A?si=HdSc0YqDxwHZCXA3.
Sewed the squares together leaving some edging stitches showing. DARN! I just went over the seams again and did them right. Good thing I like seaming:)
When sewing up seams with mattress stitch, start sewing at a point so they match up perfectly. Leave a long tail and you can thread the tail to sew to the beginning.

498 g of yarn used for squares.

Used charcoal yarn (dk) for sleeves and hem and front binding.
Sleeve: pick up 67 on #7 needle. Knit 6 inches, then decrease 2 st every 10 rows ( k1 ssk to last 3 stitches then K2tog k 1. Rib 2 1/2 inches then bind off #5 needle.
