Notes

As others have stated, if you don’t want a funnel neck, and would prefer the sweater look like it does in photos, you will need to decrease the number of rows of raglan shaping. As written, the stockinette stiches go as high as the finished neckline in the photos. To make this look more as expected, I stopped about an inch and a half short and started my ribbing early, if that makes sense.

I do love this yarn, though. I did a fairly good job of even knitting, but after the sweater was blocked, the stitches look amazing! I am hoping it holds up to wear and washing.

Just a note on how this yarn is wearing. I have had some minor pilling under the arms. Interestingly enough, the color of the pilling is bright red, and not what I was expecting. Turns out, there are a whole lot of very distinct colors making up this tweed. I am hoping that once I shave off these pills, that will be the end of them. At least they are forming in an inconspicuous area, because the color makes them very obvious!
