This is a sample knit for the designer.

Chose this colorway as it matches Munchkin’s eyes exactly.

PROJECT NOTES:

• Knit yoke on size 3s.

• Yoke completed 7/7/15.

• Switched to size 4s on bind-off row for arm-holes, then 5s for remainder of pattern.

• Project on hold 7/23-8/9 to complete another Taiga sweater for other daughter’s birthday.

• Chart is very intuitive and easy to memorize, but very dense and a bit time-intensive.

• Pattern repeat: on size 5s at gauge, getting one full repeat per 1.5,“ pre-blocking and without finished border. For this size, that equals 14 repeats (less consideration of border rounds).

• Ran out of first skein of yarn (~400 yards) after yoke and completion of 4th cycle of chart on size 5T.

• Ran out of second skein of yarn after completing 9th chart repeat, at about 13.5” long (from armhole). 400 yards ~ 5 full chart repeats on this size of garment.

• Math: weighed out one gram of yarn and found that I got ~ 175 stitches (in pattern) out of it. Based on this, I’m anticipating needing close to 1,200 yards in order to complete this project.

• Ended up needing 13 repeats of the chart to reach my desired length; measured hanging vs flat, as this will be how it is worn.
