Notes

INeedles
Neckline 3.25mm ( I love a wide boat neck style)
Colourwork & body 3.25mm
Cuffs & Hem lace detail and bind off in 2.75mm

Yarn details
My main colour is a Tribe yarns Merino, silk, yak 163g blend held double with mohair 21g for the colourwork and then faded out into the body of the knit.
I also held my main colour double with a plum mohair for the lace detail & bind off♡

Colourwork is three yarns held together; Halo(merino singles) 38g, Mohair 8g & a thread of lace 16g

Modifications

My only modification is the sleeve.
I wanted a short lacey sleeve.
So I knit 11 rows in total with my main colour, doing two decrease every odd row either side the beginning of round.
Then added my plum mohair and knit the cuff lace detail but ending with only one knit and then one purl row before bind off♡♡

Another really gorgeous pattern from Teti! Mine is delicate & lacey perfect for our African climate, but with a different yarn and long sleeves you can easily make a lovely cosy knit.

Happy knitting ♡♡
