Notes

Used the two handed technique: knit the colors Continental and the background yarn English style. I only caught the floats when there were 7 stitches or more. Usually I avoid patterns with long floats but there’s a nifty way to trap the floats without dropping the yarn or releasing the needles and happily I remembered how to do it.

Wet blocked in Eucalan, turned inside out and laid flat to dry.

Mods
• used single strand Léttlopi instead of double strand Einband; same gauge
• made basic long sleeve pullover instead of lantern sleeve tunic
• added three sets of short rows at back of neck immediately above colorwork followed by neckband of three rows of 1x1 twisted rib on 120 stitches.
