Notes

Birthday present for my Vespa enthusiast father. He collects and restores vintage ones.

The pattern was generally well-written. I was confused by the asymmetry at the tops of the two front pieces, but I went with the instructions and it worked out.

I knitted it at quite a tight gauge because I don’t like the stuffing showing through. It does a bit on the tires, but I can live with that.
