Notes

— 3rd version —

.Shiny Side Of The Moon (silk version in natural color)
.Hasta La Vista (striped dress version in cotton)

As my 1st version with the same yarn turned out too large owed to the silk that expanded at lot at blocking; i decided to knit the same size but to go down one needle size.

Gauge Swatch
Unblocked: 28 st x 36 rows
Blocked: ?? st x ?? rows

Sizing

My measure … S – op1 … … Ease …
Back measure: 36 cm 38 cm 2 cm
Bust measure: 95 cm 100 cm 5 cm

Adjustments

➔ Length
I knit 4 cm less because of my petite stature

Other modifications

I didn’t make the motif on the sleeves and raglans
I CO 10 sts less for the front for a closer neckline
I made full length sleeves

Measurements

Pre-blocking … Blocked …
raglans: 18 cm ?? cm
length from armpits: 41 cm ?? cm
sleeves: 50 cm ?? cm
width: 90 cm ?? cm

Finally

Knitted at a smaller gauge, with 10 stitches less for the front the sweater ends up being a little too tight for me !
But the neckline is just as I wanted it to be…
The sleeves are 1 inch too long but they’re going to stay as they are.
I now have to loose a little weight and it will be perfect.
