Care: Machine wash and dry
Credits: "This vintage design came from Knitting Wildlife, by Ruth Herring and Karen Manners. The original sweater in the book is a super-chunky man-sized sweater. Changing to a medium-bulky yarn that was available in the U.S. when I knitted it automatically changed the size. I knew it was going to come out as a woman's size but didn't realize that following the pattern stitch for stitch would bring it to a perfect fit for the average woman who is 5'4" and usually has to choose between petite sizes, for a 5'2", and standard sizes, for a 5'6"."
This sweater has been sold to a 5'4" in a town near Sea World, the home of friendly orcas.
