Notes

--- Notes in German and English ---

Der Okapi hat alles, was ein lässiger Wohlfühlpulli in meinen Augen haben muß:
einen schmeichelhaften Schnitt mit leichter Überweite, einen großzügigen Halsausschnitt und überlange Ärmel (wennschon, dennschon…) zum Reinkuscheln. In Verbindung mit den gewählten Garnen hat der Okapi bei mir das Zeug, eines meiner Lieblingsteile zu werden!

Ich habe Größe 37 gestrickt, um bei meiner abweichenden Maschenprobe auf die Größe 40 zu kommen.
Bündchen im Perlmuster, 6 Reihen.
Sonst keine Änderungen.

Körper: Katia Silky Lace + Drops Lace.
Für die Streifen habe ich 2 verschiedene Lacereste in Beerentönen verwendet:
Ärmel rechts: Katia Silky Lace + farbenprächtig Merino-Silk 700 / Drops Lace + Drachenwolle Lacegarn.
Ärmel links: Katia Silky Lace + farbenprächtig Merino-Silk 700 / Traumstern filigran 2-fädig.


The Okapi is a sweater I want to live in all the time!
It has a flattering shape, a generous neckline and overlong sleeves to cuddle up in it.
The Katia Silky lace and the other yarns are the perfectly match for this already favorite sweater.

Because of my different gauge, I knitted size 37 to get a size 40.
I knitted the hem in seed stitch (6 rows), otherwise no changes.

For the striped sleeves, I used up 2 different lace leftovers in berry tones.
