    About

    This color is supposed to be coral, but it’s much brighter and closer to an orange! Although it’s bright, it’s also a pretty “happy” shade for Spring and Summer. Since this is made of cotton, I thought it woudn’t be very warm in summertime, but it’s still a warm sweater.

    You need to be have experience knitting sweaters before making this pattern. The pattern only includes charts and not row by row instructions and there is a mistake or two along with leaving some options up to you about how you will attach ribbing at neck and front edges. Setting up the charts in KnitCompanion makes the knitting go faster, especially if you add the stitch count option for knit stitches.
    Use sharp needles if using this cotton yarn, it will help. I used Square Kollage cable needles and they worked great.
    Knit YO's on following row through back leg to leave a nice hole (I didn't realize this till I got to the sleeves :-(
    5 Buttons to be added soon.

      Hi Carolyn. Your comments are really useful about the pattern only being charts, not row by row instructions. I am a bit confused after only doing row 1 of the charts. Can you tell me if row 2 is just a pearl row and then you do the next knit row off the chart (row 2 on chart) which would actually be your third row of knitting. If you don't mind helping. I just got stuck with it :-(
