Notes

This fits me weirdly -- because of the loose gauge (from the thinner-than-suggested yarn I used), this stretches downward while wearing. The sleeves droop down my arms, which REALLY annoys me. I wish I’d made it a few inches shorter overall. HOWEVER, I still like this hoodie and have worn it out this fall.

This yarn is already getting pilly and sheddy in places, and I’ve only worn it a few times and haven’t even washed it yet.

This was the first pattern I’ve ever followed that wasn’t my own. It’s kind of nice to just follow instructions without having to think. I would’ve finished this much faster if I’d had all the yarn at once, but I had to make three separate trips.

Mods: I knit the sleeves and body 1” shorter than specified, because I’m short. However, everything has stretched lengthwise, so it fits as if I’d never shortened it.
