Notes

I did not use a pattern for this one. Just winging it per measurements I was given. I started out with a provisional cast on at the shoulders, followed by some short rows while knitting back and front (flat) separately, shaping the neckline along the way. After reaching the underarms, I did some decreasing before joining front and back in the round. Lots of stockinette stitch and 2 x 2 ribbing. Super simple. The yarn did all the talking for this project.

Note that the solid colors of the Premier Cotton Sprout DK line of yarns have more yardage than the speckles. This is because the solid colors have 100 grams vs. the speckles with only 85 grams. So keep this in mind when ordering yarn. Also, the “white” background in this speckle colorway is not a bright white. It has a distinctive “orange” cast to it when knitted.

Needles used:

Size 4 US (Susan Bates) - Body

Size 2 US (Addi) - All ribbing except for bind off (JSSBO for sleeves only)

Size 1.5 US - JSSBO (bottom and neck ribbing bind-off only)
