Notes

Experimenting a top down seamless yoke sweater with double ended TC. I’ve done seamless sweaters with round yoke in double ended TC in the past but experiment is all about adaptability of knitted patterns to TC techniques.
Inspiration from the Knitters’ Handy book of top down sweaters by Ann Budd.
The book is all about KNITTING. This is not a book about Tunisian crochet at all.
I’m adapting a basic pattern to TC in the round to compare results with what would be otherwise expected to be knitted. Using TSS to keep it simple. Yarn is color changing but blends well in TC.

Je tente l’expérience d’un pull sans couture avec encolure en rond au crochet tunisien à double bec. Ce n’est pas mon premier top down au CT à double bec. J’expérimente les limites d’adaptation d’un patron destiné au tricot en recourant aux techniques du CT en rond.
Inspiration libre du livre Knitters’s Handy book of top down sweaters, auteur Ann Budd.
Attention: le livre reprend des modèles au TRICOT. Il ne s’agit pas d’un livre sur le crochet tunisien.
J’adapte un modèle basique en utilisant le pts pour faire simple. La laine change de couleurs mais le résultat est plutôt heureux au CT.

Size 40, gauge 4 stitches/inch - too large for me, but I’m changing a few things here and there to make it closer to my body measurements. Note for the future: opt for size 38.
Taille 40, échantillon 4 pts/2.5 cm - trop grand pour moi, mais je change quelques rangs ici et là pour me rapprocher de mes mensurations. Note pour plus tard: sélectionner une taille 38.

Ends woven in yesterday. Today is blocking time.

Photos 1 and 2 show project blocked. No curling on edges anymore. I worked 2 rows of sc, which helps fighting against curling.
Photo 3 is project before blocking.

The whole think is light and comfortable to wear. Not very stretchy but enough stretchy to make the same project in a smaller size to be closer fitting.
