Notes

Love, love, love this pattern. Very well written, and can’t believe how fast it knit up, despite the large cable panel. I did not quite end up with the negative ease I was going for, somehow, though my gauge swatch was spot on. I may try to shrink this in the dryer a tad.

Purple is a wicked hard color to photograph. The most accurate color is probably in photo 9.

Total knit time: approximately 25 hours

Model measurements: 36-28-38

Mods:

  • decreased sleeves to 36 stitches and knit for 15” before cuff
  • not really a mod since CO method wasn’t specified by pattern, but I used the Chinese waitress cast on for a super stretchy hem.
