Notes

Mods:
1. Substituted mohair for worsted.

  1. Didn’t like 3/4 length sleeves so picked up 51 sts and knitted 1 lace pattern repeat, 17 sts on each dpn. Put a marker at either end of center 11 sts on each needle. Knit 1 row around. Begin Lace pattern: Row 3 - K2tog at beginning of each needle = 48 st. Row 7 - ssk at end of each needle = 45 st. Row 11 - repeat row 3 = 42 st. Row 15 - repeat row 7 = 39 st. 5 rows garter after finishing lace pattern.

  2. Back looked too short so picked up 84 sts across and did 2 sets of 6 short rows, using German sh rows. Knit 79 st to left, w&t. Knit across to 5 st before right end, w&t. K to 5 st from last w&t, make new w&t (left). Repeat last w&t (right), do 1 more left & 1 more right to make total of 3 w&t on each side. Knit 2 garter rows, then repeat entire short row sequence. Knit 1 row, bind off with US 10 needle.

Love the way it turned out, love how airy light yet cosy warm it is! I wear it often at work.

The Viking knit necklace with bronze filigree leaf is from my daughters’ Etsy shop.
