Notes

I have no business casting on a new project - especially in the midst of holiday gift-knitting - but upcoming travels demand stockinette, so here we are!

  • Casting on the 43.25” size for 36” worth of actual chest. I’ve knit a number of Caitlin’s patterns and have learned to trust her love of the ease.
  • That said, her armholes are usually a bit tight on these guns. Knit this pair for an additional .75” before decreasing for the neckline.
  • Picked up 72-stitches per armhole, which threw off the feather-and-fan a bit - but I just went with it.
  • So-named “Chattanooga”, as this sweater consists of yarn from three local/local-ish dyers: MC (White w. Speckles) - Gale’s Art, Atlanta GA; CC1 (Darker Mustard) - Unwind, Chattanooga TN; and CC2 (Lighter Mustard) - Big Sky, Jackson TN.

Update: Ultimately frogged as, even with my modifications, the fit (especially around the arms) was way off, an issue that I’ve encountered in several Boyland patterns. I love her aesthetic, but her ability to draft / write a pattern leaves a lot to be desired.
