Notes

I have made the wings a bit longer by extending the last two increase sections by 10 rows each, to be able to tie the scarf in the front after wrapping twice.

The gauge was a bit off… the hood came out a bit looser, but I’m a loose knitter. But the bigger, looser hoodie was a welcomed feature for the recipient.

I struggled a bit with seaming in kitchenette on the ribbing, I suspect, however, that’s everyone’s struggle.

I loved the construction of the garment, the instructions were great. First time knitted with Isager Jensen. It is a bit coarse to knit with, although it blooms after washing. The yarn, the pattern, will use both again with different yarn and different projects.
