Notes

I was so excited to receive my copy of Moon and Turtle. What a beautiful book and wonderful collection of patterns. I have never seen a pattern call for Briggs & Little yarn before and was really thrilled to see that Kinsan calls for B&L Sport. I love this rustic and inexpensive Canadian-made yarn and, better yet, have the perfect colour combination in my stash for this project.

Back with a second attempt! Using US 7 needles to knit a size 2.

June 2023 — Finished, ends woven in, and blocked. What a fun little sleeveless jumper! Definitely roomier than I envisioned but not overly. I can see myself making this pattern again (and again). Love the neat neckline.

Fully blocked garment gauge:
22-23 stitches per 4 inch
