What a beautiful pattern! I used yarn held double and achieved gauge with the recommended needles.

I introduced a second CC and faded the oatmeal through to the smoke colour for a very subtle change.

I picked up an extra stitch in each “corner” of the underarm to avoid a hole. I k2tog twice on the second round of the arm in the “corners” to remove the extra stitches.

I knit my version exactly to the pattern with the exception of reducing the length of the body by about 4cm.
