Notes

OK, casting on as winter’s getting closer. I suppose this might be a long-term project but I really hope it won’t.

I’ll try to make it as seamless as possible:

  • knit in the round from bottom to top
  • short rows and 3-needle BO for shoulders
  • top-down sleeves with sleeve caps shaped w/ short rows.

Hope it works.


The instructions are TERRIBLE - they sound like some verbal diarrhea. I don’t know if it’s the fault of crappy Polish translation or what. But I’m not giving up :-)


What I did:

  • CO 232sts - joined for working in the round
  • rib: k6, p2 (20 rnds)
  • inc 4 sts with m1 after rib - 2 sts on both sides
  • inc 8 sts at the beg of front cable pattern to get: p6, C14F, p6
  • C14F: 6 sts to front cn, 2 sts to back cn, k6, p2 from back cn, k6 from front cn
  • split at armholes and worked front and back separately
  • dec 11 sts to shape each armhole -> 104 sts (for front and back)
  • dec to 26 sts for each shoulder
  • short rows for shaping shoulders (3 times)
  • 3-needle BO for shoulders
  • collar joined in the middle of the neck and grafted to the back (still need to master my skills in this matter :-/)
  • sleeve caps shaped using short rows
  • CO 90 sts for sleeves (80sts around, 10 sts for underarm) still thinking 86 sts might have been better
  • working in the round, 2 at the same time with magic loop
  • cable pattern: p2, C14F, p2
  • dec 2 sts in every 10th rnd -> 68 sts
  • dec evenly 4 sts more to get 64 sts
  • rib: k6, p2
