Notes

Love, love, LOVE this yarn!

Even though I went up a size and used a heavier yarn, this sweater is just meant to be worn over summer dresses. It will work nicely for spring and the beginning of fall.

switched to size 7 needles and didn’t do any decreases as the sleeves were a bit too snug the 1st time I knit them (and had to rip then out)
-made the 10/12 size and did exactly 13 repeats of the chart. With the trim, this made the sweater “long from armhole.
-Did a garter stitch trim and button band instead of rib, just because I prefer the look of it. I also didn’t do the I-cord trim b/c I just can’t seem to make it stretchy enough. L’s fox sweater didn’t block properly b/c of my tight I-cord trim so I thought it best to leave it off this knit.

-took 2 skeins to knit the body and maybe 1 1/2 for the sleeves.

underarm to hip area 13”
underarm to wrist 15-16”
