Notes

The fact that this pattern exists fills me with unending joy. Never mind that Tennessee’s Winter is already drawing to an end; I will wear this woolly monster until I melt. Because it is perfect.

Notes/Mods:

  • Knit 18.5” of sleeves, as my wrist to armpit measurement was 20”.
  • Used Size 7 needles for the hem.
  • Extended the body by several inches. Did not incorporate any shaping; I just kept knitting.
  • Neckline Mods: Eliminated the decrease, knit a row of MC followed by five rows of ribbing, then bound off in pattern.
