Notes

I am so happy with this jumper, however my brother isn’t too pleased with the fit. He felt that it was too tight around the waist and so I re-blocked it which fixed that problem. He still doesn’t really love the neckline though, he wants it to be higher, however I’m not going to fiddle around with it now, I’m please it’s all finished!

I cast off for the collar using the tubular cast off, as was worried that I wouldn’t have enough yarn to double back the collar, and because I like the tubular cast off! I’m just wet blocking it and then it is finished!

I had to get another ball of wool as would not have had enough for both sleeves! Thank god the amazing Novello Wool Shop had another ball of the same dye lot, they totally saved me!

I used cable cast on, and missed out the garter stitch rows, starting just with the 1x1 ribbing.
