Notes

It was really “a labor of love”.

Knitting took longer than I expected - and then the war in Ukraine happened - and I couldn’t take up the knitting for some time, everything seemed so dark and meaningless…

I knit the body in the round up to the armholes - and added 6 sts for the arm openings (and made the biggest calculation mistake - later the armholes turned out too small and I had to make steek and cut the fabric). SLeeves are wider than in original - I also knit them in the round, so had to add some sts to make 6 full sheep and not 5,5 as in the pattern.

hem/neckline/cuffs - 2.0 mm
body - 2.5 mm
