Notes

Knit the yoke both with the stripes made me crazy…. I’ve frogged 10cm and actually looking for a method to knit this part more easily….

Finally, I found the good way to follow the pattern, Thank you Rililie for your help.

Some mods:
☆ Stripes sequence
☆ Only 3 increases for the body
☆ Second part of sleeves are knitted with an other color
☆ Lower of the sleeves are knitted with 3 thread of silk

This pattern is really really well written!!! many explanations on each part and pictures who are always great!

january ,19th : Finished. Can’t wait to wear it!!!

This wool relaxes. After the wash I put back my cardigan in the washing machine to try to shrink it in the wringing!

After a new drying phase, it’s ok!

I really really have to do swatch before start my project!!! ;-)

I should have knit the size S to get my perfect M.
