Notes

CO 57st on US#6

switch over to #7 about 1 round prior to joining together. the transition from cable to needle on #6 is kindda ‘catchy’. Much easier to knit with #7.

US#5 for ribbing

Machine wash in garment bag on gentle cycle. Air dried overnight, machine fluffed on gentle cycle x 15 min.

Post wash & dry gauge: 22 x 30 = 4” x 4” on US#7

Another ‘Luv’!

Take away ideas:

  • Knit the inner half of the fold-over hem/collar using smaller needles to retain shape better.

  • This yarn is soft, cuddly and unbelievably warm. Will make an awesome turtleneck with it when I get a chance. Narrower bust (~37”), shorter armhole(~7”) & narrower sleeves (~13”).
