Notes

Such a fun and engaging knit. The color work was rhythmic and easy to follow. The yoke flew by, and the rest of the sweater was simple enough for mindless TV knitting. The perfect combo! I used a US 6 throughout the body to achieve gauge, and a US 5 for the collar, hem, and cuffs. The Denim color in the yoke was a fingering single held double. For the other colors I used a DK weight. The only change to the pattern I made was knitting an extra inch in the body because I have a long torso. The gathers/puckers created by the increase technique in the yoke blocked out pretty well.
