Notes

it’s fairly easy, and hey, i even like the color.
in any case, i will probably make more of these in the days to come…

I cast on exactly as she did in the pattern, since my shoulder span is the same measurement as hers. how convenient. :)


after wearing it a few times, I realized i had to tighten up the armholes to keep it from slipping off so easily. i just sewed up a bit higher than before. The ribbing is still kinda loose, so it might be better to do future ones smaller than you think you’ll need… especially b/c you can sew it to your size to make sure your arms fit. The armhole and the snugness / fit of the lace are the two main (only) important things in this pattern.
