NOTES

A nice, simple sweater that uses the contiguous method to shape the shoulders for a top-down seamless sweater.

MODIFICATIONS

• Used two strands of lace weight yarn to approximate fingering weight yarn

• Used a gauge comparison calculator to figure out how to size up based off of my gauge versus the pattern’s gauge

• Cast on for a size 4; however, stopped increases when I reached the final stitch count for size 1. This allowed me to accommodate my shoulders, while ensuring that the contiguous shoulder and armscye (the shape / outline of the armhole) hit my body in the right place. It was important to me that the placement mimic the placement of a set-in sleeve.

Final Thoughts

I found it a bit of a pain to hold two of the same weight of yarn together for this pattern. Ensuring that I did not only catch one yarn instead of two proved to be a hassle. The end result is extremely squishy.

I also think I may go up several needle sizes for the hem and possibly switch to an Italian bind off to give a bit more stretch at the hem, cuff, and neckline.

I will also consider adding an inch of length for the body.

Overall, I like this pattern and I plan on knitting another one for National Knit a Sweater Month in November.
