Notes

A Christmas present for my DD - hopefully it is not too large, although I made it a bit large on purpose. The pattern itself is also “vintage-y” and a bit bulkier than then current trend for sweaters.

I followed the pattern’s size 128 but also used the measurement of an old sweater DD already is using when horseback riding (this one is intended for use during her riding lessons, too). The colour layout on the yoke is a bit different from the pattern because I used leftovers from my Endurreisn for the yoke. At first I was afraid, I was petr… giggle Naaarh, but I was wondering if this lack of white would be a problem for the colour balance, but I think this works quite good.
