Notes

12-06-2020

Because I’ve knit a size bigger than my usual size the sleeves are quite loose for me, so I’ve done extra decreases and knit long ribbed cuffs to make it a full length sleeve.
I’ve also knit a cropped body with continuous hem for 5cm on 3.5mm needles.
Used German Short Rows instead of w&t.
