Notes

I have been wearing this all the time. Love how it turned out!

The pattern was full of errors, even with the errata the publisher posted. Lots of Ravelers were having trouble with armholes, so I decided to make raglan sleeves to avoid that whole messiness. It was worth all the work though! Now that I’ve figured out all the problems, I would make another one.

Modifications made:

  • Used US9 for cast ons and bind offs
  • Resized to 31” bust
  • Changed sleeves from set-in to raglan
  • Knitted sleeves for an extra inch (to 19”) before beginning armholes.
  • Hood directions were super confusing, even after looking at the errata. Just winged it! Turned out a bit larger than I’d thought it would.
