Notes

Swatch with yarn held double on US 7, blocked:
20 sts x 29 rows = 4”

With my looser gauge, a Medium/Size 3 should come out with 43” bust, within the range of suggested 2-5” of ease for me. My gauge often tightens up a bit when working on an actual sweater in the round, so I am going to go with this size to make sure it doesn’t end up too small.

Picked up sts for collar before dividing for sleeves so that I would have enough of my lightest fade colors for collar and could use up the rest in the body.

Before dividing for sleeves, 56g of Canadian Beaver and 15g of darkest Bougie mini remaining. Save 28g of Canadian Beaver and 7g of Bougie mini for sleeves.

Notes from when this was going to be a Sun & Moon Fade:
Row gauge needle (for circle): US 5
Stitch gauge needle (for body): US 4?
Ribbing needle: US 3?

Make Size F, 3/4 sleeve version.

Color X: 3 Bougie minis + leftover Saturday Night Beaver = 258 yds

Color Y: 2 Bougie minis + leftover Spicy Beaver, Eager Beaver & Evil Beaver = 420 yds*

Color Z: 10 Cinder minis = 700 yds

Need about 100 more yards to transition between Y and Z -- purchased full skein of Canadian Beaver.
