Notes

Bobbles! Eyelets! So pretty! So easy! Thanks, Cirilia!

Yarn made from milk casein. Modern!

Made sleeves flat, then made shaped sleeve caps because the main body didn’t fall off the shoulders as much as needed. Perhaps I needed to make the next size.
Made sleeves regular length because I had enough yarn.

First time making knitted-in pockets. I’m allergic to dpns- can’t stand ‘em, so made pocket with two circulars. They turned out nicely.

Added buttons and buttonholes to front band.
This garment is much more spectacular than the pictures show.

Directions for this sweater are very good.
Washing:
Will plan on hand washing, because I didn’t compensate for shrinkage; however, if you plan ahead, you can machine wash / dry.
Swatch:
BEFORE MW: 15 st, 21 r / 4” or 10 cm.
AFTER MW: 15 st, 24 r / 4” or 10 cm.
Shrinkage in length only is ~ 3/8” or 9mm / 4” or 10 cm.
It was a bit fuzzier, but to me, still very pretty.
If you stitch 3 more rows per 4” of garment, it’ll be easy care! Just need to have a bit more yarn.
