Notes

What should be a Christmas present for my mother-in-law had not been finished in time. Or: I don’t know what got into me, these cold colors are not matching to her.

The black yarn was the only yarn in black I had in my stash.
The more I knitted the more I thought it would have been better to use the reverse color combination.

I made some modifications to make it bigger because I used a thinner yarn.

Each section was extended by two stripes more. So at the reducing part on the left side you have to adjust the number of stripes.

For I only had this single skein of black I recalculated the consumption and decided to make stripes of MC smaller (4 garter ribs) when the CC-stripes increased to 5 garter ribs. I ended with barely 2m left.
Used German short-row-technique instead of WT.
