Notes

Well, this was again a joy to knit: such gorgeous result!

Mods:

I followed my own modifications, and did a 3-needle bind-off for the front & back side stitches; then knitted the sleeves in the round (with one extra decrease because I didn’t need the edge/seam stitches).

I only worked 2 short-rows per pattern repeat, throughout.

I knitted size 6-12 months, but the sleeves looked too short to me, so I added a lace repeat.

+~+~

I wasn’t too happy with my choice of yarn (the recipient didn’t want 100% wool because ‘too scratchy’): the yarn is heavy, and the wool and cotton threads split. I also had a problem with one of the balls, which was badly stained with what looked like black motor oil - I notified Fiordilana and they offered to replace the ball (and then didn’t!)
