Notes

I had knit the body with 4 mm needles but I changed for 3.75 mm for the sleeves.
I added 3 decreasing rounds to the sleeves and ended with 48 st and 10 rounds of 2X2 ribbing instead of garter.
Bound of with 3.75mm needle.

Really light and see-through and I still don’t know wether I like the fabric or not… I didn’t much enjoy knitting it.

latin_cross FINALLY FROGGED

06-06-2024 Making something else

Used all the yarn for main sweater

  • Sleeve hems with Phildar Lambswool and 3mm needle: 2 garter ridges + BO

  • Body hem with Drops Fabel and 3.25 mm needle: 1 garter ridge + 4 rounds K1 tbl P1 + BO

  • Neckline hem with Bergere De France Soie and 3mm needle: 2 garter ridges + BO
