Pattern calls for 13 balls of yarn in total for my size but I was knitting it 12cm longer than the original pattern until armhole shaping so I knitted the back first to calculate how much yarn I’d used then bought some extra in some of the colours. I do have enough left over though to make some gloves or something so overcalulated.

Really enjoyed the colour work and the pattern was easy to follow. The size came out true and the yarn was lovely to use so I really enjoyed this project.

I was really glad that I wove all the ends in as I went because I didn’t do that for the stripy ribbing and there were loads of ends just from that to darn in when I made it up.

I didn’t block it but just pressed it before I sewed it up.
