Notes

Loved this quick sweater!
Neckline Ribbing- I missed the direction that called for decreases. I ribbed for 7 rows and then used a Kitchener Bindoff. Maybe I will have to redo this…

Body- I am 5’2” and this cropped version seemed very short on me.It only came to the waistband of my high waisted pants. I frogged back and added 3 extra rows for 5.75 “ to body. I also added two extra short rows. Ribbed for 1.5” and finished with a Kitchener bindoff.

Sleeves- usually sleeves are 2-3” long on me but I knit this for 10”

I think the pattern should have some short rows at the back neckline and also after the lace section in the back. This would probably help define the slope at the hemline.

Happy note! Have almost a full skein of the mohair left and about 300 yds of the sock yarn.
