Notes

02-02-2021

short sleeves
eyelet ribbing on the bottom

I bought 3 skeins with the hopes of returning one of them. But I needed the 3rd skein as I was alternatiing skeins in the body. I started the pullover with one skein, and the dividing of sleeves and body, this is where I started to alternate skeins.

On the ribbing, I used the same needle size as the body US 2

I bound off in pattern using US 3 needle and standard bind off (the standard pass the stitch over) to get a looser tension around the edge stitches

I knitted pattern as written with no incidents or modifications

What I love about this yarn is that my pullover did not grow in length when wet blocked. Slight bloom in the yarn. It is so soft and easy on my hands.
