Notes

An unbelievable dream/opportunity hearts
I chose colorway as a tribute to my Granny because she could have knit this beauty. (the armchair is hers ;) )

Long tail CO
Ribbing : use 4mm needles / 23 rows
Minor mods :
Sleeves : follow XS size because I have small arms
Body S size has the perfect positive ease (my actual bust size is 88cm = 34.5”)
Back & front : mirror rope cables (first 2 as pattern, last 2 mirrored) because they are mirrored on sleeves… and also for a lovely look on side seaming.
Shoulders : german short rows + 3 needles BO
Collar : one purl row before ribbing as it’s my signature !

About the yarn :
It was my first time ever with Arbor (and with BT yarns too!). I first thought 4mm for ribbing and 4.5mm for main needles were to big for this yarn. But the magic of washing is wonderful. Arbor is very soft and a amazing “wear to skin” yarn !!! Can’t stop wearing this sweater hearts
