Notes

Do not be alarmed by the yarn yardage used in this sweater.

Double stranded yarn combinations:
Plentiful and El Cielo together on front, adding Fine Art in the dark blue areas on the front.
Plentiful with Linaza together on back.
Rainbow Classic with Ranco Solid yarns together.
Jeannee single str with LaceyLamb triple str together.
Used same needle thru out.
Stash buster.

Suggestion:
Another raveler mentioned that the back rode up.
It’s because there’s no back neck shaping.
She reworked her back piece with some short rows.
That’s one solution.
Another solution is to do some back neck shaping.
It’s not difficult to do that.

Other inclusive sized roomy sweater options for the future:
PTO-045_06 Lang Yarns Cloud
269-05 Lang Yarns Kris
269-02 Lang Yarns Donegal
