Notes

I’m not really liking that the two pieces don’t exactly fit together straight. I would recommend wool yarn so you can block pieces first. (The pattern does say to block pieces, and the recommended yarn does contain wool, so it’s mostly my error in yarn choice.) I should have used wool instead of acrylic, but it’s what I had on hand and it isn’t obvious when it’s worn vs. lying flat. Another reason is it’s a request from teen granddaughter and she might wear it once or twice until she onto the next fashion trend. That being said it was an easy make.

I chose to save the cuffs for last to determine how long they needed to be or if my granddaughter just wanted it to have wide sleeves all the way down. I’m waiting on her to try it on so I can finish sleeves.
