Needles: 3.5mm

** June 15th edit:
I restarted the project with a new technique and this is MUCH better. I am currently KNITTING the hemstitch instead of using the recommanded technique and the result is just perfect.

So far, I used 84 st for the back, with the “hemstitch” placed after 5 st then every 10 st and before the last 5 st. Photos to come soon.

June 10th edit:
After completing the back + a sleeve I realised that it is too small after all. I’ll restart it again.

BACK
65 st. for 29cm before hemstitching.
St. dropped: while binding off 5st. 1 drop, 1 extra st., 10st. 1 drop. 1 extra st. Until the final 5 st. Binded of.
36cm width after hemstitched.
