Notes

I am so excited for the release and to be apart of this test knit raised_hands

This is a lovely slipover and I love this soft halo being built by the mohair. heart_eyes
Notes About this Project/Tips:
I followed the pattern and I find it quite useful to use a stitch marker to mark the back of the neckline

I did some Mods:

  • didn’t cast on any underarmstitches (pattern stated this)
  • Bind off in rib pattern as stated in pattern but did bind off the right stitches elastic and left in the normal way
