It's the first time I've tried a crochet alternate to ribbed edges and I'm smitten. Brain overload!

All done, it didn't take long to tidy up. In the original picture most of the long threads were just ends that are already woven into the fabric. I generally weave them in by threading over/under the needles before knitting across the row, then just leave them hanging until complete. And others are the ends of the crochet which were deliberately long in case any changing of mind happened. The neck turned out better than I'd hoped and I did add one more row of Bean Stitch to the bottom, for no good reason
This could keep me toasty warm at work during the winter, and there's enough left to make a cowl or a scarf maybe, which might or might not have Bean Stitch pockets or DIL might nab it - we'll see!
If making it again I would stocking stitch the sleeves a bit shorter and have a few more rows of Bean Stitch at the cuff. Minor.
Details:
Rosarios 4 Pig Tail, 53% Wool, 47% Acrylic, 6.5mm-7mm needle recommended
Raglan V-neck from Bond Patterns book
Stocking Stitch Bond Keyplate 3 (1 evening)
Crochet Bean Stitch 4.5 hook
Time: Tuesday to Sunday (includes much dithering over the crochet bits)
