Notes

Single-ply Plötulopi

XXL slight A-line tunic. Very lightweight and warm.

Watched all of Stories by Rabindranath Tagore during this project. Drank Masala Chai. Happy knitting memory.

No color work at hem

2 solid rows between each pattern section

4 sts pattern + + + +

DROPS Sky 4 Grey is a perfect match to the Plötulopi 9102 Grey Heather for grafting underarm stitches.

Plötulopi is a little too delicate for grafting.

After blocking:
Chest 49”
Length: 36”
Hem width: 60”

Constantly amazed at how lightweight but warm plotulopi is.

Quite a bit of pilling (maybe because of the looser weave) but the shaver works as long as it’s on a flat firm surface.
