Notes

Lovely and comfortable to wear.
If I was making this again I would do it all bottom up. I didn’t knit the sleeves top down. I never like the way this works and it takes too long. Much prefer to knit bottom up and shape the sleeve head for a better fit.
I love the effect that the pink Regia gives to the stripes.
