Notes

The dye lot on this yarn is IMPORTANT!!! It’s so off on some of the colors and it’s so hard to tell

Making size XS for Casey, I think this is about 6” positive ease?

11-13-2022

Added 6.5” to body length

11-20-2022

Completely screwed up the sleeve at first and had to rip it out and redo it, ended up adding 1” before doing any decreases, 1” to the length of the grey block on the sleeve, and 3.5” to the total sleeve length.

To make an XS sweater from O’Go, you only need 6 balls of yarn. Because each ball has five colors, you’ll end up with one color completely unused (and one color completely used!)

All of my yarn was labelled with the same dye lot, but the colors were super different - it’s most visible in the medium teal color and least visible in the white color, so this is something to look out for when using this yarn. Luckily the pattern of this sweater kind of works with this inconsistency.
