Yarn: One tough sturdy yarn. Love the colours and the ochres are really beautiful especially Ocher 03.

Pattern: A very simple pattern made unnecessarily complicated. Not a fan of the increase method selected for the yoke area as the two strands of yarn are really bulky and things just got a lot bulkier.

Mods: I started with the 39” and picked up extra stitches under the arms for the 43-1/2” body. I tried to get a flattening cast-off to avoid the curl and it worked well for the sleeves’ smaller circumferences but not the body. I have wet blocked and will watch it to see if I will redo it.
