Blogged here! (and I’m not kidding about that calculation)

December 15, 2015: NOTE: For some reason the back and front are written identically, but if you don’t want the rows of color to crash into each other at the seam, start with the second set of stripes for the front, not the first.

I love this little polka dotty thing! Not to mention that there is no stranding, it’s just slip-stitches. You are not even knitting most stitches so it goes super-fast.

NOTE: You have to be really loose when you knit the slip-stitch rows. I pull the stitches down the needle after every knit stitch down that row to stretch them out. Even with that effort, I didn’t get gauge on US 6, had to go all the way up to US 8. Also, if you look closely, the ribbing is far too tight on this pullover. They ask for 3 sizes lower for the ribbing, no way. I am using only 2 and they are bigger: US 6.

I’m omitting the color change a the end of the body and sleeves. Instead, I plan on adding a few stripes of pink here and there, amongst the fabulous highlighter yellow shade Zing.

This yarn is scrumptious, seriously. Very soft, even for a merino (which is usually soft). The plies can come apart with your long-tail cast-on, so try to re-twist as you go.
