Notes

This sweater is infinitely wearable. I have lived in it the whole winter and the loose fitting cut is so versatile.

It is really a paradox why I liked to make different patterns and try different stitches. Ultimately I really just like to wear plain designs.

I think I really should just make 10 of these and not think about what to wear. And maybe just modify each one of them mildly, haha.

This kind of loose gauge is not suitable for most stitches. But it knits up quickly and it is perfect for showing off the colors of well dyed varigated yarns. Good base pattern for striped sweaters too I suppose.

I liked using cashmere for the neck part and it was a good decision. It’s like wearing a comfortable scarf everywhere I go.

The Lucina yarn is very nice for sweater and it drapes well and stands up to wearing. Really great yarn. So far it has no pilling - this is my recent obsession. The color is so beautiful and soothing.
