Notes

I absolutely love this pattern, the neck is what really drew me in, and I was watching every day for the test call. Thank you so much for having me again, Anke, it’s always such a pleasure to test knit for you…

Size 2, no sizing mods.
I knitted the ribbing and the cast on in the same colour. I was very short of the grey yarn, and wouldn’t have had enough otherwise.
I made a small adjustment to the ribbing…I added one knit round of blue before starting the ribbing, to make sure that the first round of ribbing came off the needle in blue. For the bind off, I knitted one round, then used the Icelandic Bind off to mirror the purling at the neck.
