Notes

I love the little stripes and the lacy sleeves and bottom. The body is also great conversation knitting.

My gauge is off compared to the pattern gauge of 25 st/4 inches on 3.5 mm needles, so I’m going down a needle size and making size M, to fit L.

26 grams of Petit Poison to start - 3 grams leftover.
60 grams of MC did both sleeves.

I started with the white as CC2, then ripped it out and knit the turquoise, but that was overshadowing the beautiful Petit Poison, so back to white!

Notes:

  • my white CC is immediately before the start of the lace on the sleeves. The pattern has been amended to add a couple of rows of MC in stockinette before starting the lace. I think that is a great idea, but didn’t want to rip back. There are 3 rows of MC before the lace at the bottom, and that looks good.
  • I added another row after the turning ridge on the folded hem so that the row count is even on both sides - otherwise the hem wanted to flip over.
