Notes

120g is half of a skein.

I decided to do some modifications. I wanted more twisted stitches than the pattern called for and only reverse stockinette between pattern repeats….I’ve also decided to try playing around with the vertical repeat a bit on the back…we’ll see how that looks…

FROGGED! Taidhg and I decided it was coming out the wrong size. It would have fit with no eases…so I’m starting over, making a bigger size.

I’ve switched to the directions for the largest size, making some stitch adjustments to account for my gauge difference. Using an online yardage calculator, I did estimate whether or not I have enough yarn to make the sweater this much bigger. It shouldn’t be a problem!
