Notes

Thought this yarn seemed more like a bulky weight but that said I never seem to agree with spotlight’s classifications.
This is pretty much the same yarn as Patons Zoomy which is classified as super bulky. They are identical yarns.

Anyway, achieved gauge on 5.5mm but decided to go a size larger because I’ve heard this pattern runs a bit small and I’d rather have it a little larger; plus on 5.5 the fabric was still a little dense, I’d rather it be a little looser.
The yarn is really splitty due to it’s construction which is slowing me down a tad.
Super easy knit.
Mods:
used a kf&b inc on neckline (easier after a s1)
used mirrored m1 increases on raglan
did an extra increase before dividing for arms (yoke measured 4.5in)
inc 2 stitches under each arm.
Will just knit length until I’m happy with it.
