Notes

Finally got time to take some pics of this sweater that I have completed for some time.

I really like how this sleeveless Boxy T turns out. It’s exactly how I wanted it and I can easily put on a tight overcoat without creasing the sweater.

Yes, it’s boring knitting the ocean of stockinette stitches and it takes longer than I’ve expected but it’s well worth the effort.

Mods:

:: Cast on 330 sts (it’s 54 inches in circumference after blocking)
:: Knit 5 rows of ribbing and it doesn’t curl after blocking
:: Make it sleeveless (I tried to add a sleeve but I think it looks better without them and it suits better the warmer winter here)
:: 14 inches before dividing (but it becomes 15 inches after blocking, it looks ok though I prefer it a bit shorter)
:: Finish the edge of the “sleeves” by crocheting 1 row of single crochet and then 1 row of reverse single crochet.

Yarn:

The yarn is gorgeous! It’s so soft and subtly striated, perfect for this project. It’s warm and very comfy. I read that this color is notorious of bleeding when washed. So I put some vinegar and relatively hot water when soaking it and the bleeding was minimal.
