Gauge in 4,0mm with Zing closest to required 22sts. 4,5mm is too much, and I do not have a 4,25mm needle to try. Does it even exist? I find the apparence of the gauge quite loose. If it would not be for good fit, I would propably choose to knit this yarn with a smaller needle.

This is my second try of Mandel. The first one has its flaws here and there.

Size: XS from the beginning. Needle size for neck as given in pattern. No pleats on the sides - it does not suit my figure.
