Wool arrived - need to get measurements, then gauge, then yoke pattern

Waiting for measurements

Got to yoke then waiting for length of body measurements (…….)

Needed and extra couple of inches on sleeves and body, pattern started, panicking about decreases to keep pattern correct, watch this space

Only blocking and underarm grafting to do then finished.

I would in retrospect have used a brighter blue, and although the yoke is circular after the pattern begins, I don’t like the way it suddenly decreases (the 25% row) and next time would likely go for a more gradual start.

All ribbing done on 4.5mm needles except neck on 4mm, also turned neck ribbing back and hand hemmed to neck.
