Notes

Adorable, quick knit (ended up working on it for about 7 days basically). I’ll have more pictures after Thanksgiving when I give it to her for her birthday!

Very well written pattern with helpful schematic. Substituting the Knitpick Wool of the Andes was a perfect swap for the Q & C Lark in terms of gauge and overall performance.

3 modifications: (1) I changed BOPR to under the arm when I was starting the color work. (2) I lengthened it overall by adding 4.25” to the ruffle as I didn’t want a cropped top. (3) I waited to begin the twisted rib cuff until I had reached 9-¼“ instead of 8.5”; I then reduced the twisted rib cuff length to 3-½” instead of 4”.

Finished Dimensions were spot on with the pattern shematic, except for where I made modifications:

Body length (center front to hemline): 15”
Body length (armpit to hemline): 12.5”
Sleeve length (armpit to cuff): 13.25”
Chest circumference: 27”
Upper arm circumference: 9”
