Notes

4.5mm gauge:
before wash : 20st x 26r
wet: 18st x 24r
after blocked: 20st x 26r

use M to get S/M size.

after knitting in round, I realized that somehow my gauge is 18st like called in pattern. So then adjust the stitch into S/M size. Should make next gauge swatch in round I guess.

Made tonssss of mods. I learnt a lot from this project, especially about adjusting the fit. I used my friend’s sweater as the template for size. Hope this will fit her well slightly_smiling_face

Major mods made:

  • length of body: 17cm from underarm
  • sleeves: 20inch from underarm, omit the garter stitches, add stripes
