Notes

I found the L sleeves were coming out far too wide, so I went down to the M sleeves. They suited me much better.

The Empire Line where the ribbon is supposed to thread through was too high due to my bust size, so I used a simple frog closure instead. Were I to knit this again, I’d knit more depth before decreasing for the arm holes.

The yarn I knit with doesn’t have quite the same drape as the alpaca silk, but its super soft and not itchy at all. And I adore the colour.
