Notes

Easy pattern with excellent directions. Modification of front panel with I-cord bind-off is probably intermediate level. Enough yarn left over for a scarf or gloves :)

Front panel mod:
18-stitch repeat over 10 rows; odd rows are RS rows.
Row 1 - * k8, p2, k8 *
2 - * p7, k4, p7 *
3 - * p1, k5, p2, k2, p2, k5, p1 *
4 - * k2, p3, k2, p4, k2, p3, k2 *
5 - * p1, k3, p2, k6, p2, k3, p1 *
6 - * p3, (k2, p3) 3 times *
7 - * k2, p2, k3, p4, k3, p2, k2 *
8 - * p1, k2, (p5, k2) twice, p1 *
9 - * p2, k14, p2 *
10 - * k1, p16, k1 *
Pattern is Dotted Chevron, p. 28, Barbara Walker’s A Treasury of Knitting Patterns: Since the stitch patterns from the first 2 B.W. Treasuries are frequently used in patterns, I think it is okay for me to write the Dotted Chevron out here.

Bound off front panel with 3-stitch I-cord using US 6 needles.

Body: 90 g

Sleeves worked up quickly on light wooden dpns. Did not alternate skeins. Duh! Had to rework sleeves alternating between 2 skeins.

Note to self: lightweight, silky yarns knit up better on wooden needles!
