Short rows:

• At the end of the short rows, there should be one stitch on either end of the of cast on marker
• Knit one round, picking up both of the wrap and turns, one will likely be on the purl side so will need to be picked up from the back
• Knit over the cast on marker tightly to reduce the gap from the short rows
• Remember to knit/purl 1 after the short rows and HOW to pick them up depending on knit or purl side
• Any gaps in short rows mean it was done wrong and you’ll have to start over

Decreases:

• I only did 3 decreases, and you could do 1 more for a more snug fit, but doing all 6 makes it difficult to pull it over your head
• After the decreases, did about 3-4 more rows in knit, then the collar

Final notes:

• Make sure you have enough yarn! I ran out at the end and it was a nightmare
• Blocking really helps the fabric drape and loosen up
