Notes

Finally finished, but it’s a bit too small for my 2.5 yr old son! :( If I had kept to gauge it would have been perfect, but I was too uptight and knitted about 4cm less in the chest than it should have been. Maybe can remedy by stretching more while blocking.

I needed more yarn than expected. Had only 2 skeins initially but had to buy another 2 more. Hence a little bit of a colour difference in the body between the 2 dye batches. Fortunately I had the foresight to finish the sleeves first, so the difference only affects the body.

Overall quite an enjoyable knit. I used the no cable needle method for the 1 st cables, and used traditional cables for the 2 sts ones.

I like the neck that has some shaping for the back to be higher than front, so it is more comfy for the wearer. Also love that it is seamless. Clear instructions as well.
