Notes

Mods

  • Added hearts to the bottom of the body. (I had to mess with the stitch counts to accommodate for this.)
  • Used sewn bind off.
  • Used size 6 needles for the sleeves since my ITR gauge is much tighter than my flat gauge.
  • Picked up 5 stitches at each armpit for a total of 40 stitches per sleeve.

Gauge on 5’s: 6 stitches x 8 rows = 1 inch

Chest measures 9.25 inches across

Sleeves measure 5.5 inches from armpit to bottom of cuff

Sweater measures 10.25 inches from top to bottom
