I have included a photo of the back because the pattern lacks it. As you can see it’s the same as the front, with a vertical stripe down the middle with basic K/K1P1 alternating rows. Had I noticed earlier on, perhaps I would have added a vertical design of my own, like a larger zig-zag or fancy climbing vine.

Malabrigo Twist , while feels GREAT, wasn’t quite the ideal yarn for me. Pro: it’s soft and snuggly; Con: the plies come apart and fuzz if you have to undo anything at all. Also it weighs more per yard than, say, a proper Aran wool. Since it’s so fuzzy and soft, it may not be most suitable for wet weather.

I suggest following the pattern it to a T (save for measuring your hip-to-armpit length, and wrist-to-armpit length)
