Notes

During the time that I had my boys to myself while the hubby was on a work trip, I was so stressed out that I couldn’t stop knitting. This project was a great way to calm down and feel productive.

I was able to knit this in 24 hours and love the way my hand-dyed yarn looks with this garter pattern.

I’m addicted to this pattern and I can definitely see myself making another one.

Think I’ll be making a pair of matching booties (or hat) with the remaining yarn.

-The finished measurements of the sweater were this:

Wrist to Wrist (15”)
Back of Neck to bottom of sweater (9.75”)
Across chest (7.5”)
Across very bottom of sweater from l-r sides (8”)
Arm Opening (3-4”)
Arm Length from underarm to wrist (4”)
