Notes

Knit in one piece from the top down, using five colours of yarn in single-row stripes, and the sixth colour to make thick seed-stitch bands. Sewed closed at the front after finishing because the front wouldn’t hang right with buttons.

This went wrong because I was idiotic and went off-plan, now it’s a big slouchy house sweater. Oh well.
