Notes

LOVE the colors in this Noro! Making this body of this pattern took two evenings. I liked it so much, I’ve worn it as a vest a couple of times. However… I can not stand to waste the last of the beautiful Noro I had ordered to make it with sleeves… so, I am thinking today, I will begin adding the sleeves.

Update: Finished the sleeves last night and I LOVE it!! Such a fun little jacket and talk about instant gratification! The whole thing would have been three evenings to make.

Wearing it right now and I’m not sure when I’m going to take it off. LOL!

I added photos of the underarm decreases and the start of the yoke because they were a little hard for me to figure out. Once you work through it, it all makes sense… it was just getting through.

The underarm decreases are worked as a dc and dc decrease straddling from one corner stitch to the next and then another dc in the second corner stitch, skipping all stitches between the corner stitches. Hope that helps someone and myself should I do this again. ;)

As always, I love me some Noro!
