Notes

3.75mm gives me the correct st st gauge.

I’ve been meaning to knit this for ages, then found the Coast in colours I liked together a few months ago.

All knitted to pattern, using 3.75mm needles for the main body, 3.5mm for the hem/sleeve finishing, and 3mm for the neck.

My husband kept saying it looked huge when I was knitting it, but it’s perfect…and so comfy!

I love the shape, it’s narrower at the bottom of the body so doesn’t look at all shapeless when it’s on.

Now I just need summer to return to the UK so I can get some wear from it!

I love it in the 3 colours, but there were lot of ends to weave in…26 in all, and I spit splice where possible!

And…the sun came out, so we went to the beach!
Now I can’t wait to make another one, what a wonderful pattern… and it’s so light and airy.
