Notes

I am knitting this one in the medium size to make up for the difference in the yarn.
This yarn was purchased by a friend of mine in Kitchener and it did not come with a tag so have no idea about the needle size and yardage too.

I have cast on for the body 248 sts and knit as for that size.
Now I have just finished knitting up to 39cm and will change to needle size 4.5mm
Working the increase now.

You can see on picture 3, 4 and 5 this is from one skein.
In the picture you can see blue and red tones. I have to see if later in the day the colours will be more true to what they are.

So all finished but did have to add sleeves to it as it was to narrow around the bust. I did not want to open this one up again. My yarn was probably too thin and did not give me the right measurements for this top part of the shirt. I think it turned out not to bad though and my daughter has given me the thumbs up….so I hope she will enjoy it.
For the sleeves I cast on 90 sts and knit in the garter sts a; the way up. Then every 4th row dec 1 sts both sides. Then every 2nd row 1 dec both sides till I hade 70 sts left
