Notes

Measurements and shape are a bit modified. My tension swatch does, of course and again, not match the tension given in the pattern.
I made the neckline a bit narrower and different on front and back. The sleeves are shortened. They will become longer in wear anyway because of their knitting direction.
I omitted the shaping by tension and knit the pieces straight. The lower edge consists of six rows in garter stitch, this gives a little flare.

As the raw neck edge did not look very tidy, I made my minimalist neckband: Pick up and knit stitches and then work three purl rounds. Cast off purlwise. This band curls to the inside and neatens the edge.

Knitting on Brother KH 270 (Chunky machine) with tension 6. The completed garment weighs about 420g, plus tension swatch; about 450g (900m).

The garment fits well, but it is rather “blue”, which is not at all my colour. Maybe I’ll find someone on which it looks better.
