Notes

Lovely project. I’m happy with the result.

Mods for more harmonic look:

  • I changed the ribbing to 2X3 ribb on 4.0 mm needles ( for 10 rows) at the bottom of body and sleeves.
  • The neck is also changed to 2X2 ribb. I picked up sts on 2.0 mm needle with a additional cable behing the work and purled 1 row. Then I established 2X2 ribb , 1 row on 2.0 mm needles. I wanted the ribbing to be closer to my neck therefore I knitted it on 4 different numbers of needles, 3 rows on each number: 4.0 mm, 3.75, 3.5 . Then 7 rows on 3.25 mm and inc. the needle size in opposit direction. Used 3 needles BO on 4.0 mm needle to close the neck ribbing. It gave more stabile and neat look. This neck don’t grow aside.
  • Added 1 pattern repeat to the sleevs and knitter 2 short rows for better fitting.
  • Added 2 pattern repeats to the body.
