Notes

Test knit for Tania. My dear Rita spinnwebstube has to order the right colours , so it might to arrive in a few days.
I mostly followed the pattern. Knitting size 4, version 2.
Yoke loosly with ndl 4.0. Used german short rows. Colourwork with ndl 4.5.
Separating for Sleeves here I had problems with the underarm-chart until I understood that I had to follow size 6 (instead of size 4). As my row gauge didn’t match I separated already at row 54.
After finishing the colourwork I found the body long enough, so, after 1 rd I started with the corrugated ribbing with ndl 3.0 and ended with an I-Cord BO.
Sleeves knitted the rest of the body chart (starting row 55) and then continued with the sleeve- und body-chart. Continued in st.st with Ndl 4.5. After 25 Rds i started the decreases with Ndl 3.0 and a I-Cord BO.
Neckband As the neck was quite large, I used Ndl 2.0 to pick up 106 Stitches, continued with ndl 3.0 in corrugated ribbing end ended with a I-Cord BO.

Total yardage: MC 887m, CC1 474m, CC2 12m.
Measures: A=44cm, B=24cm, C=112cm, D=112cm, E=36cm, G=22cm, H=34cm, I=23cm.
