Notes in English

During the test period I saw this NAIMA and fell in love immediately. I knew I would need at least one Naima .

After swatching several times I found the best yarn combination in my stash:
Colourmart Cashmere weaving yarn (prewashed)
held togehter with
Katia Olé Condor sock yarn (contains 20 % Alpaca)

Gauge with Chiaogoo Red Lace 4,5 mm
Swatch:
before washing --> 21,5 st x 29 rows
after washing --> 21,5 st x 29 rows
Finished cardigan:
after washing and drying flat --> 21 st x 27 rows

The cardigan grew 11 cm … now it is a short coat instead of a cardigan, but I ♥ it.

Mods
Ssk --> changed ssk into ssk improved (flat decreases)
Pocket opening --> 27 st on scrap yarn
Pocket lining --> stripes instead of fair isle pattern
(2 rows in light grey, 1 row in dark grey for the first half of the lining, dark grey without stripes for the second half)
Sleeves
first sleeve decreases in row 24
only 9 decrease rows
ribbing: 50 stitches, 20 rounds

The cardigan weighs 582 gr. without buttons.
