Notes

Yarn held double throughout.

Color pattern (bottom-up, body):
White
Yellow
Light Blue
Dark Blue
Pink

For the sleeves, I went with this order (top-down):
Yellow
White
Pink
Dark Blue

I really like how the sleeves and body don’t match. The sleeves are also a balloon shape rather than tapered, which is really comfortable to wear.

I’m almost done with the body of the sweater but unfortunately ran out of some colors and I know I’ll need even more for the sleeves, so I ordered a bunch more of the sleeve colors and now I’m waiting a few weeks for that shipment.

The yarn arrived last week and I finally finished up the body and seamed the shoulders. Now I’m mulling over what color sequence I should do for the sleeves.
