Notes

I definitely should NOT start anything new as I don’t have time for that but I can blame Gosia for another WIP on my hands :-)

My mods:

  • different gauge: 25sts x 30 rows
  • CO as instructed but 2 more raglan inc
  • separated body and sleeves on WS in MC
  • bust increases: every RS row (8x), every 6th row (3x), every 12th row (3x)
  • decrease a couple of sts around neck for better fit of border
  • added 2 rows in St st parts in borders (apart from the front one)
  • even decreases on sleeves (every 10th rnd until I got to cuffs)

TIPS:

  1. Make sure to start a new skein of Alpaca for front border - I GUESS it should be enough and you won’t have to attach yarn there. I joined my skeins somewhere at the bottom of body and had to join on the border again :-/
  2. I also regret not making hip increases, but no way I was going to rip back.

Many thanks to Gosia for her support!
