Mods: My measurements are bust 93 cm (approx 36”), waist 77 cm (approx 30”) and my upper hips are 100 cm (approx 39”). Since I want the sweater slightly longer I started with a size 5 to make room for my hips, and adding 4 inches extra length before doing side decreases. Will decrease down to size 2 for the upper part.
My measurements for waist and bust fits with a size 3, but I want negative ease, and also, I am not done losing weight yet. Don’t want it to be too big next winter!

Finally lost so much weight that the thought of making sweaters are fun again! Starting with a quick and easy knit. The plan is stripes, since this was an impulsive purchase on sale and they only had 3 of each color ;) Doing intarsia on the owls, with some crochet details added at the end.
I haven’t knitted much in the last years due to school, just on and off. Looking forward to another project!

This knits up fast! I added stripes and made a wider one in the waist, like a belt. I was worried it would not be in the right place, but it turned out great! Sleeves next!

It is completely done now, all owls and everything is done! However… It is a bit small. I should have used bigger needles on the yoke. It fits, but just barely. Tight around the shoulders, which also makes it go up to my neck on the front, and it is a little bit itchy. Hopefully it will get better with wear! Otherwise I will sew on some soft fabric on the front to ease the itching on the front of the neckline. I also added extra length, but could easily have added even more.
I do love how it turned out though! It looks just the way I wanted it to!
