Notes

  • Sweater (in smallest size) can be made with less than 400 yds

Body of sweater

  • Long tail cast-on at neck

  • 7 1/2 lace repeats

Sleeves

  • Magic loop method instead of dpns

  • Round starts in the middle of the 8 picked up stitches (pick up 4, add held sleeve sts, pick up 4)

  • To work Rounds 7, 9, and 11, slip last stitch from previous round to the beginning of those rounds

  • 4 1/2 lace repeats (ending with Round 6- knit round)

  • Garter stitch cuff: I started with a purl round then worked 6 more rounds (ending with a purl round)

  • On that first garter cuff round, I did “p1, p2tog” around to taper the cuff (using this Raveler’s tip)

Bonnet

  • Elastic bind off on size 2 needles

  • Blocked before adding garter stitch at neck edge
