Notes

Test knit for Johanna that I just had to sneak in… fade pullover with cables grin

Mods: colour 3 (TUP Space Dust) knitted to 5” (rather than 5.75”) on body as yardage is a bit tight. I knitted the body slightly shorter overall (which is very unusual for me!). Sleeves: similarly slightly less use of colour 3. Also, not so many sleeve decreases as i prefer a less narrow fit: I decreased every 7th row to 58 sts, then decreased to 56 sts at the start of the ribbed cuffs.

Quite a bit of attention is needed when knitting the sleeves: decreasing, then changing/fading colours, and also following the cable pattern! It’s looking great though smile
