Notes

Cast on with size 2.5 mm needles in order to make the neckline a bit higher (we’ll see if that worked out after blocking.

Mods:

Body:

  • made the body a bit longer (added a few centimeters after finishing the short rows). Bound off with size 5.5. mm needle to get a nice loose bind off.

Sleeves:

  • Omitted the first 3 decrease rounds inbetween the colourwork sections since the sleeves were already quite fitted around my upper arms. Instead worked a normal knit round (so 9 rounds in between colourwork sections) After finishing the colour sections I worked the decrease round a total of 6 times instead of only 5 times (until 60 stitches left on ndl.).

  • I’m not too fond of sleeve hems being too wider. So I omitted the lace and colourwork section at thehem. Instead went for 1x1 ribbing with 2.5 mm ndl. and added a few cm in length.
