Notes

Mods:

  • Cast on 16 st (1 sleeve, 6 back, 2 sleeve, 6 front, 1 sleeve stitch) instead to fit over a made-to-move curvy Barbie head (trying to make this a real sweater without velcro).
  • Knit the first five stitches on the round to split for arms because they would have been weirdly tight otherwise.
  • 8 body rounds to make the stripe line up nicer before the waistband.
  • 12 rounds for each sleeve before the cuff for a long-sleeved sweater.

Also, this is just a test so I’m using the Red Heart, I will use nicer yarn for real Barbie sweaters in the future.

This has been my once-a-decade or so reminder that I think I’m allergic to something in the chemicals that Red Heart uses in their Super Saver because it always irritates my hands when I knit with it.
