Notes

Gauge swatch: got 24 stitches instead of 28 on 3.25mm but decided not to go down a needle size because I want a lighter fabric.

Spent several days trying to decide which size to knit, knowing mine would come out bigger. Ended up deciding on the 45cm size. I suppose the baby will eventually grow into it.

Did I mention I am in love with Lichen & Lace yarn? It’s gorgeous! This is my first project with it but the colours are right up there with Mad Tosh. This particular colourway was a one-off skein done at the end of a day of dying yarn. Im in love with it.

a third of the way through the first sleeve! I’m in love with this yarn and the sweater is progressing rather fast.

I joined in the round after separating the sleeves. I should probably have reduced a few stitches at the base of the button band.
