Notes

Another project of this awesome multifunctional pattern.
This time it was made for my sis’ for her birthday.
I didn’t follow any pattern, just another improvisation… I think it is slightly bigger and longer then the previous one, it has better shaped shoulders, and longer sleeves (it depended of amount of yarn, I think this piece has more of solidcolor alpaka and less of Zauberball).

Square part - inc in corners every second row untill every side has about 79st.
Then armholes - 10st from upper rim, 34 stitches left on the waste yarn. Underarms shaped like this: 4x dec 1 stitch every row, 4x inc the same.
Then continue the square pattern untill reach desired length of the back part…
Then worked on the front pieces (about 110 stitches).
Then back to the sleeves - pick up 87st from the waste yarns, from the shoulder and the underarm. Dec to the 70st before the rim, at the begining of garther stitch rim another 10st in a row (=60st).
Then rim around the front and lower part (i.e. 7 garters), then the upper rim (i.e. 11 garters, dec in a shoulder part and behind a neck a little, to not fall down the shoulders…)
I-cord string on 4st.
