Pattern Notes

1. The charts for the body and sleeves are not aligned at the BOR and at the half-way point of the body rounds. Some misalignment might occur for some of the motifs. Refer to photos for BOR misalignment.

2. It is recommended that the MC be the darkest or lightest color to achieve best results.

3. Pattern can also be knit with multiple colors as a stash-busting project.
