Notes

20-09-2022

Sample done! 20 sts and 26 rows in 10 cm with 4,00 mm needles.

Started the cast on with 3.00 mm needles, but I have to undo! My big head doesn’t pass sweat_smilejoy

Now I leave with the cast on with 3.50 mm needles.

I’m on the right track, Looks goodmuscle

First cast on made with only 1 line of Drops Alpaca and 4.00 mm for circolare yoke.

But the yarn is too thin and does not render the yoke motif well.

22-09-2022

I undo! I was not fully satisfied!

Now I try a strand of Drops Alpaca and a strand of Holst Garn Noble held together.

I get the perfect gauge required by pattern with 4.5mm needles.! Go!

I would say that now I am more satisfied, the circular yoke is much more!

I almost reached the end of Bust, Measures about 26 cm from underarm and before 5 cm of hem.
I don’t want it too long, so I think it will be enough.
So I start with hem muscle

8-10-2022

I started the sleeves, but damn they were too tight! It is also the fault of the fact that I work much tighter in magic loop!
Anyway, I think it would have been better to add a few more stitches to underarm!
Damn, only at the end of the sleeves, I decided that it was better to undo and find a solution.

10-10-2022

I found the solution! tada

To overcome my problem of working too tightly in Magic loop, I worked the sleeves with a 5 mm needles.

Then I worked as follows:

I put the 42 stitches back on my needles, And I cast on from underarm 7+7 stitches

So I start my sleeve with 56 tot stitches.

I worked 20 rows without any decreases.

Then:

(7 rows + 1 rows of decreases) x 8 Times

So I find myself with 40 sts before the cuff and not 32 sts!

So I worked the chart for cuff edge, adding to the sides of the chart: 1 ktbl, p1

Finished sleeves!!!!

And now they are perfect!!
