Notes

Yarn
Purchased 6 hanks.
Final garment 15.6 oz = 983 yards, 4.4 skeins
1.5 skeins remain

Gauge
20 sts = 4” on 5mm needles

Modifications
CO w larger needles to ensure a wide boatneck, which is what I like.

Size
It came out too big. I must have swatched for numbers instead of a good fabric. Between this and my knitsforlife’s plumblossomtee, I’ve learned my lesson.

5 stars for an excellent cable design, details, and for including plus sizes.
