Notes

Mods -

On the Heart

  • Needle & yarn size. MUCH smaller x 2.
  • Switch SSK for K2tog and visa versa (much prettier decrease. Less noticeable)
  • Have huge gaps/holes where the join is (crease of the heart). I’ll be reinforcing with the weaving in of ends.
  • Extra long cuffs -- 4.5”
  • Stay with same needle size when joining the cuffs. (I’m knitting for guys in VT. Don’t want any more holes / wind openings than necessary).

I must admit, I’ve fallen in love with this colorway and also with Dicentra fibers. These are the most delicious and rich stripes - the color glows in practically every light. ♥
