Notes

Received my Frangipani color card today, 2-19-16. Just out of curiosity, this is the exact color of Frangipani Herring Girls Pink.

Cautionary note: because of the Moss stitch background, fabric tends to stretch on the bias… especially across the top of the sleeves making the sleeve tops wider than they should have been.

Could not get gauge with 3 mm needles as required, but although I did achieve gauge with 1.5 needles, it made the fabric too stiff and inflexible.
Ended up using 3 mm needles and knitting a size smaller than I needed. Pattern is easy to memorize. Skein photo shows the actual color.
