Velvety Turtleneck Sweater

Pattern: Velvety Turtleneck Sweater by Gregoria Fibers

Gregoria Fibers Natural Cotton Merino (70% cotton / 30% merino) – 12 skeins (180 yds/ea) in color Chocolate
Gregoria Fibers Kidsilk Lace (73% super kid mohair / 27% silk) – 4 skeins (230 yds/ea) in color Mauve

Needles: US 8s

Size: 3 (finished chest size of 45.9”)

Notes: Knit triple-stranded (two strands of Natural Cotton Merino and one strand of Kidsilk Lace).

Mods: The sleeves were WAY too big - too many stitches from the beginning, which resulted in puffy sleeve caps. And, since there is no decreasing for the entire length of the sleeves, they were way too big at the cuff, as well. I ripped out the first sleeve and re-knit by picking up 62 sts, then decreasing 4 sts after 2” (58 sts rem).
