EZ Surplice Jacket



Yarn Madeline Tosh Vintage Superwash Merino
200 yards / skein
Worsted Weight
Knit on size 5 needle, yielding about 5.5 sts/inch in garter stitch
Used up less than a skein, after knitting a good size swatch and a hat.

Sweater size - chest circumference is about 20 inches; maybe a 1-year old size?

Really like this yarn - it's squishy, smooth (not itchy) and the color is rich and special - not an ordinary shade of yellow.  However, the fabric I made is dense, without much drape.  Maybe I should try larger needles.
