Notes

MC = Serene
CC = Heaven

Knitting size 1 (31.5”). For reference, the sweater will have 1.5” of positive ease. I have a full bust of 30”, waist is 25” and I’m 5’6” tall.

US 3 for the stockinette body and US 6 for the stranded body. Went up to a US 7 for the sleeves colorwork and a US 4 for the stockinette sleeves section. All ribbing with the 3mm.

I was a little worried about the sleeves being too tight so I didn’t do the initial decrease that she says to do on the first round. However, I did an extra decrease to compensate in the CC stockinette section of the sleeve.

The collar, as written in the pattern, was just too thick and bulky for my liking. So I omitted the double folded collar and did a simple ribbed collar of about 1”.

The yarn was not entirely enjoyable to knit with because the fabric was quite dense and a bit rough on the hands. However, now that it is blocked, I absolutely love wearing it!!!
