Notes

I made size S, and the sweater is too big, and the sleeves way too long. Still, I love the pattern, and this sweater is already getting a lot of use.

Not sure about the yarn though. It’s the first time I treated myself to this quality yarn, and wasn’t too happy with the result. It’s a yarn better suited to projects knitted in the round, which Lily isn’t. From the side, where the back piece is stitched to the fronts, depending on the light, it looks as if I’d used different yarn lots, which isn’t the case - I treble-checked. It isn’t a huge problem, but not one that a yarn of this quality (and price) should give.
