Notes

I am in love with the end jumper, but the pattern had numerous mistakes described in other project notes.

I used standard fair Isle knitting and twisted my floats. This led to some white spots but they’re not too obvious and I am happy with this. I stranded the plain sleeve with black yarn so it would have the same density as the other sleeve. For the neck line I did 2 rows with 84 stitches then decreased to 80 stitches before starting the ribbing as I was worried the neck would be large as described in other projects.

If you sort projects by most helpful, the top couple of projects have essential notes for making this jumper and corrections of numerous mistakes in the pattern. Using these notes it was possible to knit this with minimal problems but this is definitely not a jumper for a new knitter.
