Cast on XS (60sts) with 3.25mm.
Rectangle before washing:
60sts/28cm = 21sts/10cm
158rows/51cm = 31rows/10cm
Rectangle after wash&block:
75cmx30cm
Length is 1,5 times longer (+50%)
Sleeve: 3,5mm Double Point needles because I knit much tighter on this needles (addi colibri) than on my Chiaogoo needles.
Continued one sleeve. It has only 26cm circumference, which stretches out quite a lot on my 30cm bizeps.

Lace Part:
Decided to use another lace pattern out of a book (Fallmasche mit Überzug) with 2 edge stitches and a 4-stitch-repeat. Pick up stitches: (53 x 4) +2 = 212 + 6.

Washed it before finishing the 1st-Icord-Hemline. It growed super long in the sleeves and lace part.
Bottom Line:
Icord was too tight. Redo it with 4mm and 2 sts cast on extra. Length before Icord = 114cm, after Icord = 107cm.
-> redone bind-off with Jenny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off. I am happy with this solution.
Icord edge on Side-Neck-Side:
109g left over after Icord on the around the neckline. I used 5g = 20m =2000cm for the 132cm long side-neck-side Icord edge. This is 15,15cm yarn for 1cm Icord.
Knitted Icord with 3,5mm needle. Put in 2 Icord rounds in each stitch at the edge plus one more round every second edge stitch: 2-3-2-3 Icord rounds in each edge stitch.
->Redone this with 2 Icord per edge stitch, this worked out perfectly. (7g ball at start of Icord)
To join Icord in the round (on edges) I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQLa-vjWQ-I
Improvement for doing this again:
-Make the shoulder rectangle longer for a more loose fit.
-Knit it more tight with smaller needle for a better stitch definition and to address the silk yarn growing.
-Knit I cord after binding off to use the advantage of a double point needle to pull through and avoid slipping stitches forth and back all the time
