Modifications:

Flexible sweater design and direction gives you a lot of room to make as you’d like. So, even though I made it mine, there were no mods. However, next time around, I would redistribute my increases so more where up on the chest, and much less in the arms, so that it wouldn’t be so puffy. Lesson learned.

Will I make it again?

Very likely! It’s super quick and easy knit. Might make another one in cotton.

I loved knitting this sweater in just about every aspect! Loved the yarn. Cascade 220 in my opinion is everything everyone says it is. It’s great yardage for the price and a lovely yarn with more colour choices than similar yarns in the worsted family. Patons and Ella Rae both are super, but the colours in Cascade appeal more to my liking.

It took nearly two months to find a day not so humid so I could block this one. Crazy. But it’s done, and in time for the Fall. I’m so looking forward to getting more wear out of it. I think it’ll be perfect for layering in class.
