Notes

I have no idea what colors I’m using because they’re almost all leftovers, so … ehh??

Sizing using Stilwell since this is worsted weight yarn and not DK, but still using the charts and general directions from Lucy. Tubular CO, rearranged stitches for a k2p2 instead of k1p1. Kind of like the effect.


Armhole mods:

BO 6 instead of 7 to begin; 69 sts. Decrease 2 on every row until 55 sts remain (7 rows), then switch to every other row once (53 sts).


For the collar band, picked up a stitch on 5 of every 6 rows, which worked much better with my gauge for this than my usual 3/4.
