my intarsia chart. I did do some stranded colorwork at the intersection of the yellow and green to avoid introducing another yarn end.

Notes

03/07/2026 - SOOO excited to test a sweater by Isabell Kraemer. I have been wanting to try the Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia Organic Merino yarn for ages and felt like it would be a good pattern to try it with.

  • I used 2 contrast colors. The 1st inside the collar and a 2nd for the hems.
  • I used the same bottom hem contrast color and row counts for the bottom of my sleeves.
  • I did an intarsia patch to mimic a crazy quilt. I did not weigh each color of the intarsia patch since I just used a bunch of yarn end scraps, but the total weight for my patch was 6 grams. I attached an image of my intarsia chart, if you are interested in the Excel version of the chart I made, just message me and I will share it with you.
  • Since I did not put text on my patch, I did embroider some around the hem of my left sleeve.
