    About

    I bought too much yarn for a previous project and this used up some of it. I love the appearance of this pattern, but I found that it was quite challenging once the sleeve sts. were added to the body, A wide expanse of sleeve sts. were arching over 4 bound-off body sts. and the instructions say that this pattern can be knit using straight needles? Not possible. I used magic loop (awkwardly) to navigate the tight squish until many rows of yoke were done. I will use this pattern again because it is so nifty, but this time I will be prepared for some aggravation. I used a cotton blend yarn and found that it is not the best choice - a more stretchy, blockable yarn would be better.

    Notes: Regarding the fit, when I make this again I will make the sleeves a little bit shorter. If the cuffs are rolled up, now the ends that were worked in are visible. So I would just make shorter sleeves to discourage rolling up.

        Thank you, Good. I see that you are from New Zealand. (I'm in the US.) My daughter and grandson live in Rolleston west of Christchurch. Such a beautiful country and so good for my grandson.
