Notes

I bought the yarn for another project (didn’t work out) and to fill another order up to the free shipping limit.
With just 2 balls to play with I looked for a project that I’d like to have. Top down knitting suits because I can make it longer until I run out of yarn.

I made modifications. I reduced stitches under each arm a short way under the arms gradually to fit me. Boxy doesn’t suit my short frame.
I did extra rows of stocking stitch, then 8 rows of garter stitch at the bottom, using up most of my yarn.
