Notes

I had the opportunity to test this lovely pullover. It is a wonderful top down pullover that knits up quickly.

Using directions from Ysolda’s website, I started with an alternating cable cast on. I knit the 2x2 ribbing straight and joined in the round on the third row.

The following are my yardages ( I am 5’2”)
MC-first skein=237 g=588 yd
Second skein=96g=238 yd=826 yds total
C1=80 yds
C2= 84 yds
C3=8g=20 yds
Finished sweater weight=392 g

I followed the directions for waist shaping. After completion of decreases, I only made 1 increase row.

Sleeves- for me, the upper arm was a little too large so I decreased to size 1 and followed the instructions.
