Notes

General
I’m not completely happy with how the yoke turned out. The decreases ought to have been spaced out better. As it is they’re placed too late and are too abrupt. Happily knitted fabric is very malleable so I don’t think it’s too visible. And I’m far too lazy to reknit it grin

Main changes from pattern: slight A-line instead of waist-shaping and added applied i-cord at hems instead of starting with stockinet.

Note to self: Knit applied i-cord in contrasting colour from the wrong side. It looks neater that way.

My gauge is off so I’m re-calculating as I go.

Sleeves 19200st (2 x 9600)
Body 34400st
Yoke 13900st
TOTAL 67500st

TCKAL cast-on post: #488

Mods

  • MC Nyponröd, CC1 Vit, CC2-4 Ulla,
  • using same size needles all through,
  • sleeves: cast on 48 st with CC1, k3p1 ribbing 10 r, knit 5 r after colourwork before first increase, then increased every 7th r 15 more times + 1 more according to pattern = 81 st, knit 5 cm more, applied 3st i-cord to CO edge with CC3,
  • body: cast on 264 st, i-cord and ribbing as on sleeves, after colourwork decreased 4 st every 10th r 10 times, knit 6 more r after shortrows,
  • yoke: after shortrows knit 12 plain r before starting colourwork, using ladderback jacquard for the longest floats.
