Notes

Cast on 120sts to start, 108 sounded like far too few to accomplish the open neck that the pattern page shows.

As per usual with top down non-test knits I did not swatch…knitting size 4 for my 42” bust.

10/13/2020

Completed the yoke and split for sleeves today! I changed it up a little, I took 6 sts for each sleeve from the body so I have 264 body stitches and 67 sleeve stitches on hold.

I’ve used about 50 grams of each color so far.

10/17/2020

Knit 16 rows on sleeve before color work.

10/21/2020

Sleeves are done and look like they will fit well. All that’s left is the body! Already about 6 inches from the split.

I was left with about 5 grams of Evergreen, love that I used nearly every bit!

I absolutely love this sweater and the way it n fits. This yarn is so amazing…drapey and shiny and soft. I’m so happy with it I made sure to get measurements post blocking.

Gauge 24sts 34 rows over 4 inches

Finished bust ~43 inches

Hem ribbing 1 inch
