Notes

Initially thought to myself, then made for my daughter. She fell in love with the picture combined with the yarn choice (malabrigo + black + no waist shaping + cable: her eyes were shining) XD

Tighter sts gauge 15 sts/10 cm.
I want a +8” ease as pattern suggest, so 30” bust + 8” ease = 38” (finger crossed), so:

  • CO for M size, less front and back increases for yoke.
  • Due to dark colour I did slanted increases instead of cabled.
  • Body in between from S and M.
  • Work body 5 cm longer (42cm)
  • 4 buttons
  • Cowl: pick-up 80 sts, worked 5 cm in round, then 12 cm flat
  • BO sleeves in rib. Body and cowl jssbo.

I never work Malabrigo Worsted in 6.5mm needle, great quick knit!!
After blocking the bust is 38”. P E R F E C T!
My only regret is that I have not added some short rows at back neck :-(
