Notes

Cast on with a #5 needle because cuff felt too loose/floppy.

02-14-2017

Really, the hardest part of this sweater was knitting the what-felt-like miles of stockinette stitch to get to the fun yoke. I knit the sleeves first to get those out of the way, then worked on the body.

If I knit this again, I’d make the body about 1” longer to accommodate my long torso, add some short rows to the back of the neck, and start with fewer stitches around the cuffs because they’re kind of floppy.

Wore it out to run errands on Valentines Day. Very warm and cozy!
