0” of ease.

MODS: added some of C1 to the sleeve colorwork; repeated the raindrops section so that the sleeves were a bit longer.

Neckline: 4 rows of ribbing in C3 (brown) instead of C1 (blue)

Body: 10.5” before starting color work. My C1 (blue) didn’t work well for the raindrops in the body, so after one repeat, I changed to CC2 & CC3 (gold and brown). I may duplicate stitch over the blue.

UPDATE: Welp, after changing needle size (up 1 size) I thought I’d have gauge. I’m about 3” shorter in yoke length than the pattern specs.

So bonus knitting for me - I’ll be repeating the colorwork portion!

Yarns chosen:
MC - Bungle in the Jungle
C1 - Lake Superior Blues
C2 - Honeycomb
C3 - Burnt Sienna

Gauge results when knitting the Gentle Rain Hat: 28 sts, 30 rows on sizes 3-4. So I’ll bump up to sizes 4-5 for the sweater.

Delightful pattern, and as always, perfectly designed and written.
