Notes

For this test knit, I’m choosing a size up from what I usually knit for some added ease. I’m also opting for the shorter yoke option because I am pretty short myself laughing

Almost done with the yoke today. I hope to have this split for the seams soon so I can TV knit through the body portion this weekend.

Finished knitting last night and blocked this pretty aggressively. I wanted the body to be more roomy than it turned out. I think I probably should have sized up for the body to get a looser fit.

Even though I knitted the shorter yoke option, the yoke ended up about 1” too long on me. It’s not the end of the world, just not my preferred fit.

That said, I’m sure I’ll enjoy wearing this on leisurely winter days.
