Notes

In love with this sweater. I was a little nervous about going so bright, but couldn’t resist. The colors are so much fun, and the pattern was extremely well-written and a breeze to knit. It flew off the needles. I’m less impressed with the yarn than I expected. So many people adore Plucky, and the colors are indeed amazing, but it’s itchier than I’d like and I can tell it’s going to pill easily.

Total knit time: approximately 21 hours

Model measurements: 36-28-38

Mods:

  • two extra hip increases
  • added a half inch to the body
  • increased number of initial sleeve stitches to 60, worked for 4” before changing to C2, only decreased down to 36 sts, and added 1” to overall sleeve length
