Notes

This is a really fun pattern, combining cables with squares and using small and big needles. The yarn from the pattern is discontinued, giving me the opportunity of experimenting with a mix of colors.

The pullover is more tightly fitting on me than on the model, but still I love the way it fits. For comparison: I normally wear size M-L-40-42 (eur).

Using 6mm needles instead of pattern’s proposed 6.5mm. Have adjusted the number of stitches accordingly.

The edges are a pain, with two threads on 3mm needles, but it’s worth the effort. As soon as switch to 6mm needle is made, it becomes a lot easier.

Which buttons to use - orange or baby blue? I ended up making a brave choice.

Love the result!
