Notes

Being 1) a way to use up the stray balls of Comfy Fingering that I’d accumulated; and 2) a stockinette-heavy project to kill time on the daily commute. Perfect.

Decided to knit this in the smallest size as my gauge was a mite large and the yarn is a notoriously grow-y one. Good thing - the end result is super loose and will inevitably stretch with wear. Which suits my needs just fine - I like a roomy top - but I can’t say that I’d recommend this particular yarn-and-pattern combination in general. In a yarn with a bit more memory, though? Absolutely.

Switched colors when I ran out (versus switching every six inches), knit the ribbing edge around the neck and armholes on Size 5 needles.
