NOTES

• Loved the yarn I used!! It has a real shiny, crisp look. And it’s really soft to wear.
• The pattern was very easy to follow. Though looking back, I wish I had knit this in at least one size larger a pattern.
• Lesson definitely learned–if you knit this pattern for yourself, go up 1 size, maybe even 2, or else the yarn will pull funny and fit goofy! I thought I just made the wrong size for myself (though according to the book it should’ve fit). But when I saw that Chanel had the exact same problem I knew it was definitely not us; but that the pattern must be written that way.
