Notes

30-12-2023

Made my sample. With 9 mm needles it was perfect! 7 sts and 6 rows in 10 cm.
But honestly I didn’t like the effect of the yarn, it was too loose.
So I made a sample with the 6 mm needles (Which involves the yarn) and I recalibrated the size. My gauge is 9 sts and 11 rows in 10 cm.
Now if I follow a 3X I’ll get size L. Looks good!

Observation
I don’t know about the other projects.
But I don’t think I’ve read any comments about that.
Anyway, I think that , the neck was really tight, my head wouldn’t fit through!
I know I’ve got a ball, not a headrolling_on_the_floor_laughing
So for fsc cast on I use a 7mm hook
