Notes

I can not wait to wear this jacket! It’s the softest thing ever, and the pattern is so clever. It’s a quick make even though you have to go slow and “feel” the stitches rather than see them with this yarn.

I added an extra row to the body of the jacket and 2 extra rounds on the sleeves. I wanted the sleeves a little roomier, so I used the stitch count for the large size. I also added 2 extra rounds/rows to the ribbing on the sleeves and bottom of of the jacket.

Thinking of frogging the worsted weight waistband and sleeve cuffs and adding additional rows of Faux fur instead. Also might frog additional rows on collar as it is very floppy. I would like to add a zipper as well.

1/5/19 Frogged the waistband and cuffs. Added 3 more rounds of faux fur to the cuffs and 3 more rows of faux fur to the bottom of jacket. Also frogged collar. Debating on adding a couple additional rows to bottom. Also frogged collar. Not sure what I’m going to do from here. Maybe buttons or a zipper, but I need to add some width first. Still trying to figure it out.

Decided to add one more row to the bottom and leave as is.
