Notes

Worked pretty much as written, but with Sunday Short Rows, except I felt like doing German short rows for the collar. :)

I ended up making a chart for all of the back cables, as one huge chart, which helped me with speed greatly. I also am used to a different kind of cable symbol, so changing it for my own tastes worked well.

The colorway is very complex - sometimes looking more black, sometimes more blue, sometimes gray. The skeins were also a bit different from each other, so I alternated three at a time throughout the body, hem and band, and two at a time on the sleeves after the short rows.

I know Primo Worsted has a tendency to grow (especially with all of the cables/length), but I usually control this by my method of wet blocking - soak in a Tub Trug, then pour everything into the washer, and spin on a medium setting. Make sure your washer doesn’t add water/rinse! Then I scoop it out carefully, and lay to dry.

Primo Worsted is perfect for this!
