Notes

This is going to be great for our honeymoon in New York in April - I love the squishy cowl, and I may or may not have decided on only one pocket after sewing on the first and going “hey! I like just one!” hehe.

Thank you to the fabulous Kelly for the photos :)

The cowl part took me just over 24 hours to complete… it was so lovely to just go around and around and around.

My first time using Cascade Eco, I can’t wait to give this a good soak and block. Loving the sheepy smell!

Added a few extra rows for the bottom garter hem, and I also did that flat… I hate knitting garter in the round! Also did the same with the sleeves and sewing the little seam.

I’ll leave the links for the short rows in here, seeing I did plan to do short rows but after some discussion I was swayed from it… and it’s turned out a-okay without them :) Another day, short rows… another day!

I just wish the file size for the pattern was a little smaller - 16mb for a four page pattern is a little hard to download on my phone sometimes!


For New York!
