Notes

My gauge was a wee bit off so I made a larger size to compensate, unfortunately my swatch lied (and I’ve used this yarn before! Grrr) so the FO turned out a bit larger than I wanted, so it went into the dryer. Having said all that, the pattern was well written, and the problem lays entirely with me smile

I followed the pattern to the letter, no true mods other than my normal of adding a bit of length. I also used a US #1 to pick up the sts for the sleeves, just because these fibers do not “fluff” and hide any holes or larger sts.

The construction is clever, but not unusual…..Although the collar was very cleverly done, and adds a nice, classic detail.

Yarn - softens up quite a bit after washing, and more after the trip through the dryer. This color had quite a bit of “fuzz”during knitting and soaking. No color transfer, but the fuzz does look like it does.
