Notes

Another little sweater for Willow, this time using up some single balls in my stash.

The yellow and green colours remind me of sour candy, and the deeper aqua-blue was just something I found that looked nice with them.

I didn’t have as much yardage as suggested for the top yellow colour, so switched to the green 6 rows earlier than indicated, and did a few extra rows of green below the colourwork before starting the stripes for visual balance. I did end up with some leftover yellow, so probably could have followed the directions exactly, but it’s FINE :)

I wanted long sleeves so just knit them on down with some extra decreases and stripes to use up the yarn I had left.

The neck is a bit loose, even after putting in a round of tight single crochet with decreases to draw it in, but I’m probably just being a perfectionist and Willow likes it so no problem!
