Notes

This is the perfect summer sweater - cute and comfy!

Pattern is for fingering wool/cotton blend. I wanted a more summery sweater, so I’m using this DK cotton/linen blend and adjusting for size. I would normally make a M to start (narrow shoulders) and switch to L at the underarms (for more ease over the bust and tummy) but this size XS worked well for me.

Swatched. 20 stitches x 30 rows unblocked. Wash in machine and lay flat to dry. After blocking, 20 stitches and 33 rows = 4 inches.

Oops- only did one 6-row stripe instead of 2. Caught up in the hockey playoffs.

Sleeves - changed to ribbed sleeves after 1 row knit. 76 stitches. Follow neckband without changing needle size, so the ribbing wouldn’t be too tight.

Unblocked 21 inches across at underarm, 17 inches side seam.

Leftover from 2 balls pink - 46 grams.
Leftover from 2 balls gray - 8 grams.
