Notes

Jippy! The cardi turned out much better after it dryed up after a round in the washing machine. The cardi still has occational bumps/holes but much less than before.

The Wollmeise Lace grew 5-8 cm but I can live with a longer cardi. It’s soft and fits well, so I’m pretty pleased with the result!

Next time I will use a little bit heavier yarn, such as Wollmeise 100% to avoid bums/holes.

Sleeves: started with 86 stiches. Decreased every 12. round 4 times and then every 6. round 10 times: 58 stiches. Last round before rib 10 stich decrease: k1 ssk k4 k2tgK1: 48 stiches.

Next time I will make less increases for the sleeves.

Collar: inspired by Lisachristie I made: k2, p2 for 2 rounds, then p2 k2 for 2 rounds. Repeated until the collar was about 2,5 inch.
