Notes

I made this sweater for my sister. She really wanted a Weasley Sweater but with her initial, so of course I set out to make her one! I used her favorite color in a tweed for the main color and brass color for the letter. It is not an exact replica of the movie version of the sweater but I am really satisfied with how it came out. There are no waist shaping or ribbing on the body or collar.

Some Instructions for the next one:

Arms (CO 34 sts)
Cuff- 20 rows of K1 P1 (could shorten to 15 next time)
Rest of Arm- 85 rows; add 25 sts by end (if cuff is 15 make it 90 rows)

Body (CO 170 sts)
130 rows (allow bottom to roll up a little)
Measure and plan shoulder for next sweaters
Collar- 12 rows (allow to roll over)

Last picture is for comparison. I do not own this photo.
