Notes

Such a fun and quick knit! I love love love the square neck and the simple icord bind off. The pattern was easy to follow.

I ended up adding two inches of length to accommodate my bust. Without it, it was hitting too high on my chest for my preference. I also ended up picking up a total of four stitches on each sleeve because of the typical sleeve holes being a bit wider (is that a cotton/linen thing?) And because my arms are a little on the chunkier side, I decided not to decrease before binding off the sleeve.

The Yarn:
This is my second time using Cotlin DK and I enjoyed it more. I wasn’t trying to do lace (bless my younger self) and it’s a chunkier yarn than all the sock weight I’ve been swimming in lately.
It did bleed rather a lot while in the soak bin. I assume it’ll stop at some point, but the teal lint in my armpits persists lol. I also got it on sale from Knit Picks, so this entire top ended up costing me about $20, and I have a skein and a half left over!
I’d probably knit with this again, but maybe in a lighter colorway.
