Notes

Béa’s first sweater design! The construction and concept is very clever, and this is the perfect project for special variegated skeins!

Total sweater weight = 250grams
Total MC = 164grams
Total CC = 86 grams

Main needles = 3.5mm
Neck cast on = 3.25mm
Ribbing = 3mm

I wanted a more boxy fit ~ the pattern is very easy to customize to personal style. For no ease I would have had to knit size A for bust 33” but I knitted size D and gauge was slightly off at 23sts to 10cm. The fit worked out as I had hoped ~ it’s the perfect throw-over layer for our Spring evenings on the beach. Very happy!

Total length of sweater from cast on neck in front to edge of hem = 42cm/16.5”
Body from under arm to hem edge = 24cm/9.4”
Sleeve from underarm to cuff edge = 24cm/9.4”

Did standard K1 P1 ribbing on the hem and cuffs.
No body shaping.
Sleeves (3 quarter) ~ I used stitch count for size B. Knitted to elbow on 3.5mm needles, then went down to 3.25 until just before where I wanted to start the cuff, and did 2 rounds of decreases with 3 rows between them. Cuff ribbing on 3mm needles.

Thank you for the beautiful design Bea!brown_heart
