Notes

Three yarns held together and knit fairly loosely for a light, fluffy, warm texture. I have no idea why the lengths used don’t match; I can only assume some of the balls were a little over- or under-spec as I measured the amount used by subtracting what I had left afterwards.

I deliberately made this a little on the small side as my body is changing and I’m tired of my sweaters ending up too big :D Hoping it’ll be a really good fit next winter.

I used some numbers from Ann Budd’s book of top-down sweaters (the yoke construction section) but the rolled neckline, sleeve shaping and cuff/hem treatments were just what I felt like doing.
