Notes

This was really a fun knit and such a cute design. I do wish there was an adult version!
It took a little trial and error to get the twisted cord thin enough. I finally just used 1 strand of yarn folded in half for the twist. I didn’t have time for the tassel but I don’t mind it with just the knot.
I love slip stitch designs. You get so much bang for your buck! It looks much more complicated than it is.
This is the first time using the Softyak. It knits like a wool but it’s 75% cotton. Very nice!
I got to meet little baby Leo today, and I think he will look adorable in his new sweater this winter.
