Notes

Loved knitting this beauty..one could definitely knit more than one! Lots of fun to see colour combos come to life.

Yama shop update with the colours I used on Dec 10th or 11th, I will post on IG once live

About the size of my sweater:

I was going to knit size B for bust 32”..but after I completed the yoke I mysteriously had the stitch count for size H! I have no idea how I achieved this..I blame Netflix. However, since I did not have time to reknit the yoke I just rolled with it. Knitted it cropped with 3 quarter sleeves. I love the fit!

The neckline:
Cast on for size 1
Knit 3 rows
Increase to stitch count for size B (4 stitches):
K11, (M1, k22) 3 times, M1, k11

After this in the yoke I must have done many more increases than I was supposed to, to have ended up with 372 stitches before splitting for the sleeves. I did the short rows for size B though..it was before I realized the stitch count.

Body length: 8.5” from underarm
Sleeve length: 9” from underarm

Sleeve:
Knitted approx. 7.5cm from underarm, started decreases with 2cm knitting between each. 6 decreases in total. After the last one I knitted 2 or 3 rows then started the cuff. Total sleeve length about 23cm

I used standard M1L increases throughout

Total sweater weight: 560grams
Colourwork (3 colours used) total 120grams
Main colour used 440 grams
