Notes

Knit size 1 (finished bust of 35.5”). I have a full bust of 30” and waist of 25” and am 5’6” tall. It has about 5.5” of positive ease on me, but it doesn’t feel too big at all (which is usually the case with that much ease). This one fits so perfectly in the shoulders- likely because of the short-rows after the yoke.

This sweater is an addictive knit… just one more row! This sweater is such a dream- so soft and cuddly- it feels like a big hug.

I absolutely love the yarn- fluffy and light, but still a worsted gauge. Plus, no shedding (which I really found surprising) given its fluffiness.

Ribbing- 3.5mm/US 4
Yoke Colorwork- 4.5mm/ US 7
Body solid color- 3.75mm/ US 5
Sleeves- 4mm/ US 6

Only modification was that I used a German Twisted Cast-On and a regular lifted bind-off in pattern. My tubular cast-ons and bind-offs always look so sloppy and uneven.
