Notes

LOVED everything about this project. It is my most successful project ever - I wear this sweater ALL THE TIME. I usually don’t look good in top down sweaters but I like the wide boat neck. NB - 6 years later - still the most worn piece of knitting I’ve ever made

A few mods/booboos: knit right past the place where you start the pocket so I left it out. The neck was way too wide so I added 2 rows of single crochet to draw it in. Started with an extra row of dark blue because I didn’t read the directions carefully (surprise) but I can live with it. I think I added an inch or two in length.

Have already ordered yarn for next try.
