Notes

I knit the full back in suggested needle size and ended up making a huge big mess. I had to pull it all out and went down to US8 to get guage.

September 10, 2019

I wanted to love this so badly (insert emoji tears) I knit this sweater in a medium to guage, going down a needle size to get that guage. I usualy wear a L/XL but i figured I would knit the medium so it was overly large. WOW, this sweater is massive. The sleeves are 4’ to long on me and the sweater itselfe is huge. I love big boxy sweaters so the large body is fine, but the sleeves make it look sloppy. I am going to have to frog the entire thing now. I am so dissapointed.

Also, if you knit it make sure you use Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind off of the front won’t sit right.
