Notes

Pattern gifted by snooks - thank you!

The main yarn is my Plump DK base that I custom dyed to a medium teal blue shade Willow chose herself from my dye samples book. The contrast is a bit of leftover BFL sock yarn, also dyed by me, that I held double.

A few small mods:

  • I did one extra repeat (8 rows) of the colourwork pattern to raise the neckline.
  • I made few decreases (about 10?) in the row before the neck cast off to make sure it snugged in… can you tell I was paranoid about Floppy Neck Syndrome?!
  • The sleeves were curling, so I picked up around the armhole at the end and knit 6 rows of garter stitch before binding off again.

Otherwise knit to pattern, and what an adorable pattern it is ;)
