Notes

Inspired by on.the.side’s version

Christmas sweater, longer body knitted with
Tubute DK & Giggling DK
C1 Steel Cabinet
C2 Lipstick Red (Main/body)
C3 Evergreen (30g leftover in Tubote / will hold double)
C4 Naturale (Giggling DK)

Size 3 using needles 3.75 to get close to 5.25 or 5.5sts.
Colorwork using 4.0mm needles / Ribbing with 3.25mm

Changed the middle section to be “starflakes”

Body: Continued with 4.0mm needles for body colorwork instead of 3.75mm. Fits with not much positive ease but will be a bit more aggressive with the blocking.
