Notes

I thought about knitting in the round but didn’t think I could handle 400+ stitches on my circ. I did join the 2 pieces and then worked the yoke in the round, and it was very heavy. I added an extra decrease at the neck and worked some cables for about 3 inches to get more of a stand-up neck. I was going to change to the smaller needle like someone else mentioned, but forgot. Just gotta sew the seams and do the cuffs and it’s done!

10/30 -Finished, and I like it a lot! I chose an acrylic yarn because I am notorious for accidental felting, and I wanted good drape and stitch definition. This has both, thank you Vanna!
