Notes

Had to restart several times due to user error, not pattern’s fault.

Used all five skeins completely. A bit tricky lining up the colors for the sleeves, but i saved yarn from the third and fourth skein so the sleeves would match. trick part was estimating. If I make this again I would do the sleeves before finishing the body to make sure everything lines up proper.

Also increased the length as much as I had yardage for.
