Notes

Cast on 2 more stitches than the pattern called for to knit the neck ribbing. This is because I am knitting the collar in 2X2 rib instead of 1X1 rib and I wanted to make sure I didn’t end up with 4 knit stitches together.

02-05-2023

Added my Lilly and Pine minis to create stripes in the neck band, sleeve cuff, and ribbing on the bottom of the body. Also did 2x2 ribbing on sleeve cuff and body also.

02-05-2023

Started knitting size 4 and used the top of the yoke for a guage swatch. Realized I had 16 stitches per 4 inches rather than 15 so I continued with the raglan increases until I had a size 5 body and sleeves. This wasn’t necessary the body and sleeves are very roomy and oversized. There is a lot of extra positive ease.

02-05-2023

I knit the body longer than what the pattern called for because I don’t like a crop sweater. It’s still more cropped than what I would usually wear.

I also knit the sleeves longer than what the pattern called for because I like a longer sleeve.
