Notes

Fingering weight marled yarn, contrast yarn, knitted topdown, seamless, relaxed fit, collar doubled, short row neck shaping, slight bottom front curve, 4 and 4.5mm circular needles

Love the relaxed fit and overall shape. The front is slightly raised, using short rows, before knitting the bottom rib. I didn’t want the curve too pronounced but it’s turned out just as I wanted +1

Finished weight 265g (approx 223g marl and 42g cream)

German short rows in the round - picking up stitches created on the purl side from the knit side video link and written instructions:

To resolve the LAST ds when resuming working in the round:
Knit to 1 st BEFORE last ds, then do a modified ssk (slip, slip, knit) as follows: Slip st as if to knit with yarn held in back, then carefully slip first “leg” of ds as if to purl with yarn held in back (leaving second “leg” of ds on left needle). Now insert the left needle tip through the front of the two slipped stitches, and then tightly knit those two stitches together from this position. Knit second “leg” of ds through the back loop, then continue knitting as per pattern, knitting the first few stitches tightly.

Thanks to Froginette for the video and notes
