I know I know… pattern calls for Aran & the yarn I picked us a worsted. I’ll make adjustments as I go for this.

Smaller needle & knit a larger size. Will prob lay have to add length as well.

Planning on doing the neck/bottom ribbing, cuffs & front bands in the burgandy and the body in the lighter flecked colour.

To hopefully prevent the darker burgandy from bleeding into the lighter colour in the first wash, i’m Pre-washing the darker yarn. I’ve tied the skein in several places & gently washed it until the water ran clear.

Due to worsted weight & row gauge being off… added 8 rows (with no increases) before the underarm divide.

Sleeves… due to using worsted & row gauge being off… added one extra row before every decrease row.

Wrist ribbing… did 3” of ribbing due to long arms.

Neck ribbing … knit as directed

Front bands… picked up 125 stitches on each side. Ended up with 9 button holes. For future reference 100 stitches would have been enough with 7 button holes.

Buttons found at Woolbearers in Mount Holly, NJ set it off nicely.

Had enough yarn left over to knit 2 hats.
