Notes

Thank you Caitlin and Betsy for including me in this wonderful test group for a stunning new design relaxed:smiling_face_with_3_hearts

Can’t wait to cast on!

To meet gauge I am using a US 5 for stockinette/body, and a US 6 for the colorwork; US 4 for collar, US 5 for body hem and sleeves.

I added one extra repeat of the short row shaping.

Video I used for Center Double Decrease (CDD) :

There are plenty of tutorials for Kitchener Stitch Grafting on YouTube to refresh the memory bulb

I REALLY LOVED knitting this pattern, it is such a well written and attention to detail design, and can be made with so many fibers and color choices. Testing for Caitlin is such a joy, and her patterns are all so amazing! Can’t wait to knit a few more of these, it’s always fun to knit these patterns over and over again heart
