Notes

Two slight mods -

  • I did not work the front short rows because I was lazy and didn’t feel like it

  • I picked up 60 sts for the arms instead of 64 worked 24 rows even then decreased every 8 rows until I reached 40 sts

Everything else knitted as per pattern. I probably should’ve knit size M instead of size S, but I had a limited amount of yarn and I was trying to work with that. If I find it too small, I’ll just give it away.

The body is a bit cropped (12” in the front, 14” long in the back) and the sleeves are a bit longer at 20” long including the cuff. I used all but 19g of the 3 skeins I had so that’s really as good as it gets. Although different from what I was hoping/expecting, I actually quite like the finished sweater. And it’s SOOOO soft!!
