Notes

So pleased with this FO! The fit is exactly as I had hoped and the yarn was a complete joy to work with. I will be stocking up on both pebble & silk cloud when I return to ON over the holidays. This was a quick knit and a good ‘social’ knitting project. I am considering knitting another over the holidays as I suspect this will be on heavy rotation.

I made of few modifications to the pattern to suit my personal style & make the piece more wearable (for me). I love the poncho-like effect of the original design but as I intend to wear this piece a lot during the winter I realize that it would be difficult to wear under jackets. My modifications are as follows;

-knit at ~ 22sts/ 10 cm (~4”); row gauge is also denser, but I have not measured it
-joined the sleeves after working 13 sets of body decreases (the rate & number of body only decrease rounds were worked as written)
-decreased the rate of body + sleeve decrease rounds to every 3rd round
