Notes

I am enjoying working with this yarn so far. Very easy to work with and knits quickly.

I had to go up 2 needle sizes to make gauge. Knitting on the size 4 needles made a beautiful fabric but did not make gauge.

Pattern was in 2 sizes for Women. I had to adjust to make it larger for a size for Men.

I tried to keep smaller fabric but the math was too complicated to calculate while also increasing the size.

Have finished project and lived this yarn. Easy to work with, knits quickly and easily, does not pill or shed.

Adding the pacer was a little challenging. Easy to knit but tricky to place. I used a crochet hook to pick up stitches but still difficult to see every cross bar to pick up. I also picked the stitches up in the wrong direction and had to start over.

Happy with project now that I am finished. My son likes them.
