Notes

Made the collar smaller in the same way as last time. This time i made it flat and seamed it, the result was much more even.

Since my collar had fewer stitches I didn’t manage to pick up enough stiches. I only got 186. Divided as follow: 46 back +2, 35 sleeve +2 X 2, 62 front +2.

After the first increase I had: 72, 70 X 2, 124.

Increased on the sleeves and back 4 times, to get closer to the size small. Which was unesceessary, since it was a bit big when I tried it on.

Before separating for sleeves I had 80, 78X2, 124
Decreased the ten extra stitches I made under the sleeves rather quickly since it was so big.

196 stitches before the stripes on the body. No decreases.

Sleeves: long sleeves. Decreased evenly and had 62 stitches at the end and decreased to 42 stitches before the stripes.
