Notes

I’m in love with this sweater! I knew I wanted to make it the second I saw the rainbow pattern.

It was pretty straightforward to make, not too difficult. I skipped the last round of decreases and did about half the amount of ribbing called for in the pattern so that it would be more of a crew neck. I also personally don’t like using double pointed needles so I used a 9” circular needle for the sleeves instead.

For yarn, I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes yarn because it was budget friendly and had the closest colors to the original pattern yarn to choose from.
