Notes

An absolute dream of a sweater. Love the yarn, love the colorwork motif, love the fit. Wish I had finished it months ago, so I could have gotten more wear before the weather changed, but so be it.

  • My gauge was 21 stitches by 26 rows on Size 7 in stockinette. Given the amount of recommended positive ease, I decided to roll the dice on Size A for my 36” chest.
  • Not in love with the rolled collar, so did a provisional cast on (88 stitches on Size 7, then launching right into the short rows versus knitting rows for the rolled collar). After the rest of the sweater was knit, I tried a few collars, before ultimately deciding on six rows of 2x2 rib on Size 6 needles.
  • After reading other folks’ mods on Ravelry, omitted one of the arrow repeats from the chart, so my yoke was a little less deep.
  • Little motif at the cuff, little motif at the hem.
