Notes

What a wonderful sweater, just perfect for windy and cold days. And this cowl… oh my gosh! I just regret Jared didn’t create something like this before… I trully love knitting it and I really love wearing it.

I used a wool created from the colours I like, there is something green (a light green from Rowan - Lace yarn, and dark green - Centolavaggi from Filatura di Crossa in colour - 1503), ivory ( merino wool from cone), and a jeans blue (merino wool from cone - used triple), 6 threads of beloved colours held together…. mmmm :)
The fabric is something I expected to become, cozy, warm but not too much and really nice for the skin…

Although I used smaller needle than pattern calls for, I didn’t do any modification, just knitted 42 size hoping to get something around 40, and I did it :)

I’ve never knitted a pattern designed by Jared, that was apparently a mistake, because the way Jared explains techniques in this sweater was easier for me to understand than other instructions written in my native language. I learned a lot from this pattern, it’s trully not so advanced though, so I think everyone with medium knitting skills or those who are starting to knit but are eager to learn will handle this project.
