Notes

This sweater was fun to knit until I got to the skiers. I am making an XS and knit the body in the round, so I added 2 stitches to the stitch count in order to finish a final full pattern repeat (120/120). Once i got to the underarm shaping I split and am working back and forth.

I found the skiers to be very difficult - you have to do a mix of intarsia and fair isle and since it’s not just blocks of color it’s tricky. So far I’ve just done the front and i may try another technique for the back. After ripping out my work twice i decided to do a swatch of the skier. I definitely recommend doing this before you start.

ERRATA: There is an error on the chart as another knitter pointed out (thank you!) and I also found an error in the front neckline shaping. for size XS it should\ say to knit until there are 16 st on the right hand needle (not 14). I found this out the hard way after I had already bound off and cut the yarn. Grrr.

Hope there are no additional errors…
