Notes

Created magic knot balls with the yarns I chose. No planned amounts, just wound what amount I felt like before adding a different one. Since these were all full skeins, I have quite a lot of magic knotted yarn leftover…215 grams!

I’m toying with the idea of using a child’s sweater pattern to make one for my granddaughter because she really wanted mine!!

The Swish DK was the main color, used throughout and for neckline, cuffs and hem.

Used the size 5 needles for the collar, switched to size 8 for body to get gauge. Forgot to change back to size 5 for body and sleeve ribbing. face_with_rolling_eyes
Made sleeves to bracelet length and did body longer to length I like.

When first completed I was pretty disappointed. It was a bit on the smaller side of what I would be comfortable wearing. The magic of blocking though!!! It grew perfectly! I didn’t have to do any aggressive blocking and it came out just perfect!!!
