Notes

Using two strands of reclaimed yarn.

I doubled the decreases down the sleeves to give about a 10” cuff. Decrease 2 every 5 rounds.

Lovely, warm, comfortable sweater! Nice fit! Great pattern!

I wasn’t sure how these yarns would behave. So far, the ribbing seems to be keeping its bounce just fine but the stockinette sleeves are stretching out a bit. I may have to re-knit them with a tighter gauge or decrease a bit more as I go down. Otherwise, it is very comfortable to wear.
