Stripes in different colours to make me happy! :)

Using the pattern as a base for the cardi.

Colours from Holst used, from top to bottom: Thruffle (MC), Marlin, Hyacinth, Mallard, Larch, Damask, Aquamarine, Natural from Nøstebarn, Purple 30 (Geilsk), Crocus, Calypso, Cranberry, Coffee, Glacier, Heath, Willow, turqoise 28 (Geilsk), Redwood and Denim.

Increasing every 4th round in front too, since I will make a narrower “buttonband”.

I wasn’t aware of the different in the number of stitches in the old and new pattern. Much less stitches in the new version. Hope it won’t be too small!

Stiches after dividing for sleeves: 50 st on each front, 106 for back and 66 for sleeves (while on thread: 8-10 more when picking up under sleeve)

Picked up 10 stitches under each sleeve = 76. Started to decrease after 11 cm. Decreased every 12th round 6 times (included the first) and every 8th round 4 times = 56 stitches. Decreased 10 stitches evenly on the last round before the garter rib using this calculator.

Made a little collar in the neck with short rows. Used the Paulie pattern for that.

Got the inspiration to the cardi from this project and this.
