I was most fortunate to have the Noro Kureyon donated to me to keep me occupied and help me recover from major throat reconstruction surgery. I knit to the gauge and dimensions of pattern for the small size. Just a personal preference, next time I would make the bottoms longer. I didn’t because I didn’t get enough yarn to do so and frankly didn’t come to the realization until it was finished. Again, this is just my personal preference. I think the jacket looks fantastic! It is warm without being heavy and is a great conversation starter. I really enjoyed knitting this jacket and look forward to making others. I know each will be one of a kind. Noro is the best yarn to use for this project. I loved watching the colours come together. We all know about and love Noro and abrupt colour changes. As I hit one of those pesky knots I would take the knitting back to either the beginning of an entrelac square or triangle or to the beginning of a row. For the bottoms, I kept my yarn changes to the seam side of the piece. The opening of each sleeve (base row and top row of entrelac tube) varied quite a bit and so i did a row of single crochet around each, one sleeve in each stitch and every third stitch in the other sleeve to have them more uniform in size. Have fun knitting this jacket. You’ll really enjoy the knitting aspect as well as receiving all your compliments! Thank you, Irina, for a wonderful and most cleverly designed jacket.
