Notes

I completely messed up on lining this up properly because I was so intent on watching the Olympics!

To compensate and avoid having to frog (no time during this challenge for frogging), I changed the number of stitches front and back and tweaked the layout a smidgen to line things up to appear balanced.

I knit this one in the smallest size. Test swatch knit to gauge just fine. The sweater seems to edge a little towards the large size, though, which may be a trait of the style more than anything. If you like a tighter fit, go down a size or two. (I couldn’t, having knit the smallest size). I am 5’3” and the smallest size was just the right length.

Blocking makes all the difference in the world to this sweater!

I added a hook clasp at the neck, just because I like the look of them!
