Notes
  • Started with the suggested top-down construction, but size 4 numbers didn’t add up…
  • 2nd attempt bottom-up, starting with sleeves…
  • Changed the shape to boxy & short, when it looked like I was about to run out of main yarn…
  • Most yarns held double, some held treble to create opaque fabric…
  • Ran out of the main blue, so mixing grey to blue to make it last the ribbing, and after running out mixing grey and purple for the last few rows…
  • Colours in sort of a rainbow sequence, but if a yarn turned out to have low contrast (like purple), I didn’t repeat it…
