Notes

I was inspired by rocklobster’s colourful versions.

Using the last photo as a reference.

This is a last-minute Christmas gift for my son, who likes videogames like Call of Duty.

Yarn held double. It’s pretty big.

Some mods:

  • one purl round to separate each section (i.e. transition from bottom to sides, from sides to “collar”, from collar to neck, from neck to top),
  • increased after first section of squares, and also after the second section, then not again until the collar decreases,
  • divider between rows of squares is 1 purl round
  • added a “neck”, which is the short straight section to the top.

Well, my son saw the WIP so I gave it to him right away instead of waiting for Christmas because he wanted to play with it. He’s been tossing it about the apartment.
