Yarn

Handspun 2 strands Corridale and 1 strand bamboo in a slighty different view, about a thin/cheap dk the contrast is three strand polworth

Prep

knitted a hat, was too tight so have decided to just add more stitches to get the correct size 24/21 x number of stitches 8/7, turns out this is the xxxl of the pattern, will keep the vertical distances the same the jumper will be a lot longer that the original pattern
