SHORT VERSION
Body shaping
You increase for the sides and decrease for the fronts.
Short Row 1 (rs): [this is not a short row. It should just read Row1]

KURZE VERSION
Zunahmen an den Seiten und Abnahmen an den Fronten:
Krz
Rh 1 (HR):* [diese ist keine Verkürzte Reihe und muss einfach nur Rh 1 heißen]

LONG VERSION
Under POCKETS on page 7 there is a blank Row 2 (ws) This is meant to be worked as an ordinary wrong side row: BB, sM, p to BBM, sM, BB, slipping all markers as you pass them.

There are several occurrences of a typo for the ssk abbreviation. It reads ‘skk’ in the pattern, but should be ssk

To clarify for size XL:
In size XL you skip set 2 altogether and move straight to the XL instructions in set 3. Go straight to page 6 SIZES M (L, XL) Increases 3rd set


Fell in love with these floating eyelet lines and some cute details like the eyelet buttonband (allows you to decide for buttons with finishing or even wear it unbuttoned or “wrong” buttoned, my favorite :)).
And of course the almost hidden fair isle part inside the pockets.

The cardigan is worked seamlessly top-down in one piece in Stst, without picking up stitches again.

The pattern comes with the option for the long and the short version.

(There is a hooded version of Naima (accidentally happened, when I wanted to knit a short version sample). If you want to knit this version find the mods here). (please keep in mind, that this version is not tested and I just do my best to make the mods work as an addition to the pattern)
