Notes

In my family, we have a Gino, a Tino and a Nino. But they’re all boys. I decided to name this one after me!
*********************************************
After a couple false starts, I rewrote the sleeve to eliminate the gathers. Sharing my new pattern here, in case it’s helpful to any other knitters making this design.

Please be aware that these instructions are based on my gauge of 7 stitches and 9.5 rows per inch and a 12 inch bicep.
