Test knitting Ahelad for Anna (kuduja)

1 pattern repeat on US 4:
unwashed and washed:
16 sts x 25 rows = 7.5 cm x8.5 cm

This yarn feels wonderful. After washing the sample bloomed and softened even more. It also feels kind of silky and not like wool at all.

Wonderful pattern. Very easy and fast knit. Thank you so much Anna for the great pattern :-))
Love the feeling of this yarn on the skin…so soft and silky. Thank you so much Borie for the gift :-))

I used up all of the yarn. Maybe 1 m left :-))

Notes:
After joining for the body I CO more sts under arm then stated in the instructions. Sorry, I forgot to write the number down, but it was enough to get 6 full pattern repeats for front/or back and plus 3 sts in garter for each side seam.
Made some waist shaping by increasing along side seams 3x2 sts per seam.
Garter st band at the bottom: I decreased 2x10 sts and 1x6 sts every other row once I started garter stitch band to prevent it from flaring out.
