Notes

I know two you could say…but the first one I knit for Unwind Yarn House. This one is for my own use. My hubby told me it looked nice on me and I should knit one for myself too. So here you go same colour same size……now I am waiting for the nice weather to show up so I can wear this great long Jacket too.
This time I had about 20cm left in yarn huuuw… that was close with the amount of yarn available. If you make any adjustments to this make sure you get more yarn.

When you are casting of and on 29 stitches for the Arm opening. I would recommend casting on and off 31sts. Or even a view more, like 33 stitches. Then knitting the arm accordingly to the 31sts. I found even though I am small and 29sts would be ok. It feels tight around my arm and I would have preferred to have it a little bit looser for my liking. This also depends on how tight your cast off and on will be.
