Notes

Very satisfying project. I needed something simple and quick after several striped, fingering sweaters. And I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it. Absolute beautiful and elegant design, very well written and simple pattern and the result makes you feel more beautiful yourself immediately :)

Cast on for the smallest size, but separated 2 more sts for each sleeve and 4 fewer sts for the body, than cast on 12 underarm sts on each side to get a bit more for the sleeves. I stretched the waist shaping more over the whole body, did 4 decrease and 6 increase rounds.

No mods for the sleeves.

The only problem I have is the small body hem. I really like it that way but for some reason it folds outwards and I have no idea why. I think I will do it again, maybe try a smaller needle or do some more rounds. We will see what happens :)

Update: I have lengthened the hem, no weird folding anymore, it fits perfectly :)

Overall I´m very happy with the sweater, unfortunately I won´t be able to wear it at the moment. It has 30+ degree outside.
