This is my boyfriend sweater because I messed up the gauge on a substitute yarn. I found the perfect ball of Tweedle Dee yarn and carried it around until I could find the perfect thing to make with it. I came across the most basic stockinetter stitch sweater pattern in a Suss Collection pattern book. The pattern asked for two strands of Suss cotton. My gauge equation told me that it would come out right, but it came out super wide with too long sleeves and a gaping neck. I tightened up the neck with slip stitches around and left the wideness. The yarn is really warm and cozy as a wool/acrylic blend. The self-striping looks amazing.
This is one of my favorite sweaters ever.
