Notes

I couldnt resist when I saw the yarn! So cast on as soon as I was back home to avoid dormant yarn.

Mods:

-Tubular cast on: provisional cast on 53 stitches with scrap yarn, followed the instruction for tubular cast on in the round here: link text

  • tubular bind off for the sleeves

  • omitted the pockets.

22-07-2017

Increase rounds: 8 stitches increased 12 times makes 96 stitches
So increased round every other round :200 stitches

23-07-2017

170 stitches now.
30 more to go
4more increase row will be 32 (then I have to count which section has too few-too many stitches.

Edit:

  • section 1 first sleeve - 30 stitches
  • section 2 - back - 58 stitches
  • section 3 second sleeve - 30 stitches
  • section 4 front - 59 stitches. Total 177 stitches. Aiming for 200 so 3 more rows of increases. The last section front should have only 1 increase instead of 2.

25-07-2017

Finished the yoke.

06-08-2017

Finishing the ribbing of the body. Finishing the 3rd skein of yarn so more than 600m for body.

08-08-2017

Attached the 4th skein for the 1st sleeve. Let’s see if 1 skeinis enough for both sleeves but I doubt so.

11-08-2017

I did have enough for 1 sleeve, but barely!
I attached the remaining yarn for the 2nd sleeve and I am using the 5th one now.
I am at half the second sleeve.

14-08-2017

Finished yesterday, still needs washing and blocking.

27-08-2017

Stretched hugely after washing.
Too bad, DS wont be able to wear it for new school term (dangling below his knees now, it’s more a dress than a sweater), but he will certainly grow so perhaps after christmas?
