Notes

When I first saw this gorgeous pullover I added it immediately to my queue; I found it so flattering and the design so interesting that I simply had to knit it.

I had 7 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed DK in my stash and decided to use them for this project, casting on for the smallest size.

I began with the back, then knit the two sleeves and finally the front, but three or four rows before finishing the first shoulder of the front I went out of yarn. Luckily I found an online wool shop in Poland that had some balls of the same colour and exact the same dye lot available, so I could buy the one ball from which I needed only a few meters to complete my pullover.

The yarn broke very often and I had to weave in multiple loose ends (as happened with my Tangled Yoke Cardigan), but it was worth the effort, as I am very happy with the final result.

The pattern is very well written, I didn’t change anything.
