Corona

The name of this pattern is called Corona. It is a seamless knit sweater with a v-neck, cabling and a hood. I could totally see myself wearing this next to the campfire with a cool alcoholic beverage in my hand, yarn in my lap and my Kindle in my other hand.


The pattern says it is written with 5 inches of negative ease, which means "tight". Definitely is that, but using Lambs Pride Cotton Fleece means there is a lot of give and drape in the fit. I've knitted to the small measurements and worried that um, certain parts wouldn't fit. So, I put the whole thing on a lifeline and tried it on for size. Super pleased with how it is turning out.



Jon is trying to get a nipple shot and I'm yelling at him, "Don't shoot the boobies!". He's a goon. So glad I married him. ;)
