Notes

Got gauge, but ended up doing the XS/S size! I measured, remeasured, and measured again, but there was no way I needed the amount of stitches that the 1X size was… No-one else seems to have had this issue, it may be the alpaca, it may be me (though I generally knit spot on gauge), but…

Added an extra inch to the length, really makes a difference! It now sits nicely on my hips, hiding my belt/all the ‘noise’ of my jeans.

Did a single crochet round around the neck, to stop the curling

sleeve - PU/K (9), place markers each side of PU stitches.
