Notes

Testing English translation of top-down version of “Bridges to cross”.

Will do a version with short sleeves.

“QED” is a suitable name for this slightly_smiling_face

Changed to needle 3,0mm after short rows on shoulders.

4x8 repeats as decribed, then a “custom” repeat for my body shape, with 88 sleeve sts and 128 body sts afterwards, 12 underarm sts.

16 rounds in Stockinette on sleeve, then decrease 2 sts and work the 96 sts in 12 repeats of Persian Lace (with needle 2,75mm), in the round because an open cuff does ist not suitable for short sleeves.

Working Wollmeise Lace at a gauge of 28 sts is outside my comfort zone - it really looks untidy before washing, but after washing, it has a good drape, so it is worth the effort.

Only 4x2 increases on lower body.

Work front hem the same way as back hem (not shorter) because it’s shirt, not tunic length.
Needle 2,75mm for lace on hem, too.

Approx. 200g used.
