Notes

I had to leave this testknit behind on my 20 day motorcycle trip, as I didn’t have room for all the yarn. Missed the deadline by a mile!

22 st/4 inches is my gauge on 3.5 mm needles using Hempathy.

Did M for whole sweater as 212 stitches after sleeve and following decreases, which is enough.

White with multi-coloured stripes. Inspired by this project. I didn’t have enough room to use all my colors

Mods:
- did German short rows for neck shaping. Should have done those as well for the angled hem. I think those would have worked better than the yo short rows with this non-stretchy yarn.

26 short rows back. Do 71 total. Do 44 rows at side. After 26 side rows do 4 row stripe.

Fronts- do 64 rows from braid. At 16th row do 4 row stripe. 26 rows between stripes after that.
