Notes

My mom suddenly told me she really wanted a tunic like mine for christmas. She wanted light blue, black, grey and white. She only said it in one sentence and she also told me she understood if it was too much work…

Too much work?? In SMALL?? :lol: I did mine in XL so this will be a JOY to knit!

I was supposed t knit 61 cm and then start arms and short rows - but I stopped at 65 cm. I really hope this will fit my mother and I am not sure if I can wait to give it to her until Christmas.

For the short rows I did the decreases like 4,1,2 instead of 4,1,1 because I think this will make it less “saggy” under the arms.

Used 5 skeins main color
2 skeins black
1/2 white
1/2 grey

Total 400 grams.

My 15 year old daughter is modelling for me :)
