Notes

I’m using an un-dyed (natural grey) Falklands DK for the main sweater, and have added a single strand of laceweight variegated yarn to the lace sections on the body.
For the wristwarmers, I used a strand of pink mohair alongside the laceweight.

Got perfect gauge with 4mm for the body, but my row gauge was out for the wrist warmers, so I added another repeat of the lace pattern.

All knitted to pattern, but I made the ribbings slightly shorter…1.25” on both the body, and sleeves.

When working the lace pattern on the body, I started double stranding on the round before the lace pattern started, so that it dropped off the needle on the first lace round. Then I finished on round 5 of the lace pattern, so that it dropped off the needle on round 6.

Finished measurements:
Bust, 38”
Length from top of shoulder (right next to the neck ribbing), 23”
Inside sleeve, 15.5” to the ribbing, plus 1.25” for the ribbing. The lace wrist warmers extend another 3”.
Total = 19.75”
I knitted the sleeves to 14” before starting the lace.

Finished weight, 351g

Grey DK, 333g, 833m
Laceweight, 16g, 128m
Mohair, just used on cuffs, approx 3g…such a small amount it was hard to measure (the mohair is 1000m per 100g)

When Francesca came to stay we had to take pics together…two very different interpretations of the same pattern, love them both!
