Notes

Loved this pattern when I first saw it, it’s an example of my perfect design - simple but stunningly effective and different from anything I’ve seen. I love the way the short rows break up the horizontal stripes. It’s so cool why has no one thought of this before? Also perfect for using up a few balls of Noro left over from other projects, although I’ve had to purchase a few extra. The new balls are a good match, but this is the kind of project where you could add in different shades and it would still work.

Back is working out a couple of inches not wide enough so will probably use a larger size for the front.

Sewing up and now realised I’ve gone wrong on the armhole edging, essentially going too far down one side. Reknit this - didn’t take long as only doing 9 rows rather than the 13 stated. Have purposely kept long threads at the end of each section for sewing up. Using mattress stitch so not essential to have matching thread but nonetheless.
