Notes

Love the ‘no sewing’ (except for the the neckband, which you fold over and stitch to itself).

Made a little longer to cover jeans pockets, as requested by my nephew. Also added a few inches to the sleeves because my nephew is tall and lean.

I re-did the shoulder-joins with Kitcheners because the 3-needle bind off was bulky and looked odd. I also frogged the sleeves a few times to change the distribution of picked-up stitches in the armhole. I found the sleeves looked best with an equal number of stitches on the front and back of the armhole.

I made the sleeves with 4 DPNs because all my circular needles were too long. Super happy with how the finished sweater now looks.

My neighbour’s son James agreed to model the sweater for my in the garden - my own son Joe refused!
