Notes

This was easy to make, the pattern was well written and had plenty of options to vary the size, shape and the chance of playing “yarn chicken”.

I had some grey which I put in as two stripes on the sleeves and around the bottom.

I learnt a lesson with this - swatch. I should have used a smaller needle as I knitted quite loosely and it would have worked better a bit smaller.

The Skein yarn is lovely and soft and was delightful to knit with, there was however, quite a bit of tonal variation between the skeins. Doesn’t matter though we all love the colours and I split them up a bit.
