Notes

Eli has a full chest measurement of 35.5” and is 6’2” tall.

Knit the size 2 (36.25”)
Yarn A- De Rerum Natura
Yarn B- Spincycle

The De Rerum Natura knit at this gauge is just a bit too stiff for my hands to work comfortably- especially for the twisted ribbing on the 2.75mm needles. I went up a needle to make the fabric less stiff and consequently the gauge changed a bit to 22 stitches. That change worked out fine since 1” of positive ease for the original size was a little close fitting. Finished sweater has a circumference of 37” for about 2” of positive ease on my son. No modifications.

Eli loves the sweater and thinks it fits great. His only negative comment was that the neck was just a tad too high in the front.
