Notes

Titicaca and Noble / Supersoft held double!

  • started with 120 stitches and 6 rounds of twisted ribbing k1tbl, p1 (3mm ndl)
  • added a few short rows to the neck
  • gauge 21 sts / 34 rows with 3,5mm ndl
  • i replaced the woven chart by 7 rounds of fair isle pattern

Increases based on another sweater that fits very well:

  • increase 1 after the twisted ribbing (rnd 1, +30 sts = 150sts)
  • increase 2 after the fair isle pattern (rnd 9, +30 sts = 180sts)
  • increase 3 (rnd 16, +30 sts = 210sts)
  • increase 4 (rnd 21, +30 sts = 240sts)
  • increase 5 (rnd 34, +30 sts = 270sts)
  • increase 6 (rnd 44, +30 sts = 300sts)
  • increase 7 (rnd 53, +30 sts = 330sts)

  • after CHART C (13 rounds instead of 11), k 1 rnds and worked CHART 3 once (instead of CHART 5).

  • separated body and sleeves as follows: 65 sleeve sts, co 8 sts, 100 sts for back, 65 sleeve sts, co 8, 100 sts for front

  • decided to knit the body longer, with waist shaping and without the cable chart

  • decided to make the hem in main color and added CHART 4 right before the hem starts

  • Finished today - great fit and wonderfully soft feeling! Love it!
