Notes

For some reason I didn’t swatch and I just finished the back and it’s three inches bigger than it should be. Figures. Now I have to start all over.

Once I finished the whole sweater and tried it on, I realized the shoulders were way too wide. I ripped back to the beginning of the armsye and reknit, doing more decreases and making a narrower shoulder. I also redid the sleeve caps. It’s a perfect fit now!
