Update May 2025: I still love this sweater - somehow I got a small break in the yarn in the front and center, so I carefully double stitched over it in pattern. Hoping I don’t find more holes! Otherwise it has held up very well.

Starting by alternating skeins from the get-go. After swatching I have 103.3 ball one and 90.3g ball two.

After splitting for sleeves, 63g ball one and 52g ball two.

Ten rows under sleeve split, worked in ball three (108.5g) with ball two (44.5g) and removed ball one (55.8g).

Finished ball two 10” under armpit with 60.5g of ball three remaining. Worked ball one back in here rather than starting ball four.

Switched out skeins halfway through body, but did not weigh. Next time I make a sweater with hand dyed yarn, I plan to split each ball into 2 or 3 balls of yarn and to switch out skeins more often to better prevent pooling.

I knit only 1.5 inches of ribbing on the bottom of the sweater.

Picked up 94 stitches for the neck rather than 100. It fits really well. I knit the number of rows for the neck indicated in the pattern.

Started right sleeve with 168g remaining (e.g., body and neck took 232g, give or take). Sleeve 1 took 52g of yarn for eight rows of decreases. Measured 17 inches from armpit on the last decrease. Finished with 1 inch of ribbing.
