Notes

Sleeveless / vest version

Needle:
3 mm for neck ribbing
5 mm for body (my gauge here is 15 sts)
4mm for hem ribbing

Notes about sizing/techniques:
Size 7 / S (cast on 107 sts)
Tubular cast on
One additional sleeve increase (20 sleeve sts)
Worked sleeve decr and body incr as stated.
Section for body incr: Incr every row to achieve the desired width without having the raglan line and armhole getting too deep (96sts for back & front).
Icord for armhole finishing: additional stitch/row every third stitch, with my brand icord tool, cordsmith.
Neck ribbing: turns out far too slobby, had to add a crochet row inside
Hem ribbing: 20 / 25 rows with 4mm, bo in pattern with 5mm

Notes about yarn, Isager Soft Fine:
Soft, fuzzy and yet substantial. Knits up wonderfully at an open gauge (I enjoy using 5mm needles). Remarkably non-transparent.
Frogging several times is destroying the yarn.
Bathing doesnt change the look and feel, just some slight growing.

First ball used shortly after joining body and front.
Test bathing having used up 2 balls:
Length from raglan line, before: 36 cm, after: 39 cm
