Notes

Not my most enjoyable knit! I found it pretty tedious at times, but I’m happy with the final result.
I machine stitched the side seams as they were rather fragile, and it has worked well.

You need to watch the pattern carefully when working the sleeves - if the moss stitch is started with the wrong stitch it throws out the lace pattern.

Using my own colourway - pale cream is not me…

This will take ages - fine yarns on fine needles.
