Notes

When I got to the sleeves, I followed the directions for size 3 so it’s not too tight on my arms. I only knit 15 rows before the ribbing and decreased 1 time(mostly because I was lazy). I picked up 4 additional stitches on each cast on edge of the underarm and knit them together in the next row to match the stitch count requirement. This eliminated the holes you usually get when picking up and knitting the sleeves.

I also knit 5inches from the underarm for the body before ribbing, instead of 4.5inches.

Overall, I’m happy with this knit. It’s a very easy pattern that you could knit while watching movies. This was my first time working with lace weight and mohair yarn. I’m pleasantly surprised by how soft it is.
