Notes

Testing this beautiful sweater for Olga- Handmade Closet. Super adorable!!! heartpulse

Gauge with US4 in stockinette.

C1= smoke (total used 203 yds/51g)
C2= ravine (total used 235 yds/ 59g)
C3= orchid (total used 310 yds/78g)

I did make two modifications… I knit my yoke until 8” from center front before separating for the sleeves. I also knit for 4.5” from the underarm before beginning the body colorwork chart. If I hadn’t made these changes, it would have definitely been too short for me and the body colorwork would have hit on my chest. I’m 5’6” tall and have a pretty long torso and a large bust.

I think that the pattern runs a bit small. My gauge was spot on and I am a 32” chest. I don’t think it fits with 2” of positive ease- probably more like zero ease.

I definitely recommend this pattern to more experienced stranded knitters since so many rows require you to knit with three colors at the same time. This was a pure pleasure to knit- so much fun and never dull!!!
