Notes

Love the yarn and love the pattern!
This is my favorite sweater ever!

  • in between from S and M to get a 37” size.

  • 6” ease

  • jumper version as lilalu’s sweater

  • 3 buttons as Pshih’s version

  • added waist shaping

  • 3/4 stockinette sleeves

  • Decrease for sleeve at 10 and 20 cm

  • the next time I will add few cm at arm opening
