Notes

Made 3 swatches just starting right away with the pattern and 2 gauge swatches:

  1. 3,5mm choosed this needle size as starting point. Was a paint to knit, because I knit so tight. Gauge swatch had much more stitches than pattern gauge.

  2. 3,75mm Was better to knit in the pattern, but still tight. Gauge swatch was 1 stitch to less.

  3. 4,0mm Excellent to knit in pattern! I continued with this size. Made no gauge swatch here.

Found the pattern very addictive!

Mods:
Knitted the increases and the last stitch differently, because the ktbl is just a pain to knit for me. Instead I went with:
“Knit until 2 sts before end of row, make an increase out of the mother stitch of the next stitch. Knit the second last stitch. Leave the yarn in front, slip last stitch purlwise and turn work.
Next row: knit first stitch, make an increase out of the mother stitch of next stitch.”

The slipped stitches make a nice edge, best one I have ever knitted. I leveraged it from my Aito shawl.

Knitted 9x chart of section 1 (increasing section) and started then with section 2 (decreasing section).

Update: I calculated that I can knit one more repeat of section 1 and also 2 to use up more yarn. Should be a leftover of 40g.

Bind off. Leftover yarn = 12g. Yeah!
Now going to soak & block.
Might add tassels later to use up leftover yarn.
