Notes

Isager yarn held with baby yak lace from a local yarn shop.

Probably the most difficult pattern I’ve knit.
Not because the instructions were poor… in fact, they were exquisite. Good descriptions, and links to videos that explained each step. This design is tricky to piece together because of the pick up stitches and short row placement. I wanted the neck and sleeves to look polished, so I had to go slow to ensure the pick up stitches didn’t create holes.

Used ruke bind off instead of Italian. It’s far easier and looks very similar.

This is also the best fitting sweater I’ve ever made.
