Notes

Pattern was quite easy to put together, sized up perfectly and directions were clear and easy to follow. No hidden difficulties. It was necessary to clarify which one I wanted at the start so as to follow the right steps. Now that I’ve done one of the options, I’ll know up front what I want to make and probably highlight the pages at the outset.
Only problem I had, and I suspect it’s my fault, is that the row between the collar and the back tends to roll. Perhaps I pulled the yarn too tight on that row.
As for the yarn, for an acrylic, it was great, nice muted shades and colors, easy to work with, springy and washed up nicely - kept it’s shape and softened up without losing form. Have used it before; will use it again.
