Needles & yarn
US 10½ - 6.5 mm
Handpaintedyarn Merino Bulky
4 skeins = 660.0 yards (603.5 meters), 400 grams
Notes

15/03: CO 82 stitches, divided as following - 6 rib + 10 sleeve + 26 back + 10 sleeve + 24 front + 6 rib

Button holes are made every 12 rows

Slight waist shaping, decreased and increased a total of 6 sts

24/03: Body done and started on the sleeves

28/03: Sleeves done. For sleeves I picked up a couple of extra stitches at the underarm, knit about 6 cm and then started decreases. Made a total of 3 decreases (1 st on each side of the underarm center - total decrease = 6sts).

The 4 skeins were just enough for this project (which was great because I hate leftovers)

This yarn stretched a bit when I hand washed the garment the first time, so I machine washed it at 30C in the “wool” program and it turned out perfect.
