Notes

Wow! The Eco Alpaca is amazing!! So so so so soft. Yes, it sheds a little but hey, it is alpaca and I’m prepared to live with that for the butter softness. I think it will wash up wonderfully.

Great, simple pattern. I didn’t want the yoke to be too wide and fall off my shoulders so I cast on with a 3.5mm needles and swapped to the 4.0mm needles a few rows of garter in.

My sleeves are only 3/4 in length and I have finished them with a touch of noro to tie in the yoke.

10 buttons in total.
