Tips
This sweater is worked top-down. It has a lot of elasticity due to the rib-pattern. We love to knit this one too long for a start. Then there will be plenty of opportunety to grow in the sweater and thus wear it for a long periode of time.
Use Prairie from Madelinetosh if you can get it. Or in Denmark: use Poem from Hesselgarn or use any other soft and good lace yarn.
