Notes

I used this pattern as a way to use up the DK yarn leftovers I had in the blue-green colours.

The modification I made was that I knit the neck edge for several rows more in order to lift the neckline, and I made the straps shorter.

Obviously this isn’t going to be suitable for summer wear but hopefully it will work layered over a thin long sleeve tee or dress in autumn/winter.

It was quite fun to knit but I’ll have to wait and see whether it is fun to wear…

In the photos I haven’t yet tidied up the edges nor blocked it.
