Notes

FROGGED April 2020 - it no longer fit Willow and I wanted to reuse the yarn :)


Basic sweater recipe followed with… adequate results. I’ve had previous fit issues with this pattern and they seemed more exaggerated this time, particularly the tightness of the neck and excess fabric in the upper arm and chest.

After ripping out the cast on and down past the first set of increases to widen the neckline the sweater is wearable but the fit is still awkward, as it rides up high against the front of Willow’s neck and exposes half her back when she sits down.

Still, she seems happy enough, and it can be an outdoor-play-quality sweater!
