Notes

This is a white sweater with rainbow borders (because that’s what my granddaughter requested). The best I could do for rainbow colors was to get this bright striped yarn and use two skeins to double the yarn as I knit the border.
Obviously I did not stick to the pattern that required a crocheted border. I also made the sleeves shorter so I only needed 2 skeins of the bulky white yarn.
I used a 32” circular 10.5 needle.
I marked the 4 corners before knitting the border and added a stitch on each side the the corners to make the easy turn around the corner. VERY HELPFUL ADVICE FROM KAREN. THANKS!
Crowded needle, but it worked out fine.
