Notes

Had a SUPER fun time with this one - can’t believe I finished it in such a small amount of time (4 days or approx. 15 hours total). Very easy (except for Row 100) and interesting - and addictive!

Here are some notes that I’d like to add for my BSJ:

  • The 1st ball got me through 3” of sweater (from cast on)

  • The 2nd ball of yarn got me through 4.25” more - for 7.25” total for 2 balls.

  • I had some confusion over Row 100 (and, somewhat on Row 101), but then I realized that you’re picking up along the garter edges of the 10 garter stitch ridges that are perpendicular to the stitches on the needle. After that, it was like, “Ooooh. NOW I understand.”

  • The finished measurements of the sweater were this:

Wrist to Wrist (20”)
Back of Neck to bottom of sweater (12”)
Across chest (10.5”)
Across very bottom of sweater from l-r sides (11”)
Arm Opening (5”)
Arm Length from underarm to wrist (5.5”)

  • Buttons are JBG (5/8”) elephants number 90851
