Sweater finished!! Just in time for the snow ❄️
Details and mods below the read more
Main color (blue) - Brown Sheep Nature Spun Fingering
Triangles - Spincycle, Mill's Ends
Triangles - Spincycle, Mill's Ends
- knit a size S to account for the difference in gauge
- body and arms shortened to account for my smaller Self
- stopped decreasing the arms at 62sts (instead of the full 54sts) since I like to push my sleeves up
- knit a longer body cuff to account for the rolling issue I was having
- cast off the neck cuff using Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off on us5s, then sewed it down loosely. Using what the pattern wanted, I wasn't able to get it over my head at all. It's still a bit snug around my neck but that’s my own sensory issues rather than the pattern’s issue
Overall!! This was an absolute delight to knit. Starting the pattern is a bit finicky but by the time you get to knitting solely in the round, for me, I had memorized the triangles and was able to just Go For It without relying on the pattern. It was a bit out of my comfort zone colors wise but I am so happy with the final product!! Cozy and very warm 💕
