Notes

I wasn’t able to get enough Arwetta in French Vanilla so the sleeves are 1 strand of Arwetta, 1 strand of Saga, and one strand of Tilia. The body is 2 strands of Arwetta and one to Tilia. The collar is Arwetta and Tilia and the ruffle is just the Tilia, single strand.

Overall, I love it. I do think the shoulders are big on my but for my bust size I believe I have rather narrow shoulders and I also have an extremely short torso. I also could have cut and inch or so out of the sleeves.

It was a quick and rewarding knit and the pattern was very clear.
