Notes

Followed Rachel Illsley’s thoughtful directions, but used a bunch of small Royal Bee Yarn skeins and leftovers to switch up the colors. After the last chart, I inverted colourwork 3 chart and repeated the snowflake. Then I added the smaller snowflake from colourwork 4 chart. Decreased every 10 stitches before starting ribbing on US 2’s.

For sleeves, I followed the same plan. Since sleeves are longer, and I didn’t have a lot of the dark green I used at the bottom of the body, I repeated chart 4 in the same colors before switching to the green background part as per body. Again decreased every 10 stitches (to 66) before ribbing.

I played a nail biting game of yarn chicken with most colors. I won!
