Notes

I made this to “match” his sister’s stripey Noro cardy.

Pretty straightforward stuff. The only thing I did worth mentioning was breaking the yarn after each stripe above the split for the V-neck and working both sides at once so the colors didn’t diverge. It meant a lot of weaving in ends, but I like how it looks.

The colors ended up striping in a very matched way front and back. I didn’t plan it -- it just happened!
