Notes

Finished, yay! Modeled pictures to come.

Used an alternate cable cast on for the hem, and I added about an inch to front and back before doing the underarm bind-off.

My collar was worked with a US6, because I didn’t want my neckline becoming too open over time.

Sunday short rows were used instead of wrap and turn. I like to use a smaller needle to pick up my sleeve stitches. Usually Amy’s sweaters use a 1/2 ratio for sleeve pickup. When I worked the first row of ribbing for the sleeve cuff, I started off with a k2tog so that I would have an even number of stitches. Sleeves use a tubular bind-off.


Got gauge on US7, but liked the fabric on 8s. I’m in between sizes, so I’m hoping this will get me around a 38.

Working the first and last stitch as a garter stitch selvedge.

Finished sweater weighs 538g, ~105g left
