Notes

Finished short row section in back, pick up at page 7, “ALL sizes resume”

Crazy game of yarn chicken, which I anticipated because this yarn is a teensy bit short of the pattern reqs.
Knitted the collar down in an attempt to make it reversible. I really love both sides of the fabric!

Did 4 setup rows for tubular bind off

December 8, 2025

I have about 8 grams of yarn remaining and 10 grams in the swatch, should I want to add length, or double knitting to the collar and armholes to hide the exposed seam on the wrong side
