Notes

Struggled with gauge on this stitch pattern, but I often do as my flicking knitting style is tighter than continental or normal English so I’m starting to think it depends on the knitting style of the pattern designer. After a few goes I went up half a needle size and one size of the pattern. Seems to have done the trick. I like the way the fabric is knitting up even though my gauge is smaller so cracked on.

Really enjoying the moss pattern but had a few frog backs where I must have been distracted and got my knits and purls wrong. Not one for wine knitting!

Final sizing notes (using the sizing as written for 44” chest and with a 5.5mm needle)

40” chest
17” underarm to hem
10” Yoke depth (bottom of collar to underarm, measured along raglan seam)
14.5ish“ upper arm girth (measured straight up in continuation from side of body)
19” sleeve (underarm to end including cuff)
