Notes

Another super cute and easy tikki pattern! I really wanted to use some WOOLganics merino but Sam’s mum really wanted machine washable! I don’t have a great deal of superwash dk floating around and although this yarn is a bit ordinary, it really suits the theme and style of this 60’s inspired sweater.
Picked up 174 for button band. Placed buttonholes a little closer together than pattern indicated for a total of 6 buttonholes.
Picked up 60 for armholes.
Did slip st in brown but not happy so ripping it out and using green. Had to be careful not to do the slip stitch too tightly.
137g used.
