Notes

My “better half” bought me pattern and yarn :)

A little history about this sweather. My grandmother told me that during World War II the German banned using red caps and Norwegians added the red on top of this sweather to rebell.

5 cm of 2x2 ribbing.
Total of 65 cm of black before colorwork.

Phew it is really time consuming - but really really FUN! I am krossing my fingers that it will look good AND fit me :)

Pattern stated 2 skeins of white but i used 1 skein (3 meters left)

1x1 ribbing at the end - I decreased 8 stitches more than called for.

Phew I made it. My largest project ever!! Now I need a haircut and cut down on the chocolate :lol:

Added picture of how do decrease the arms - I didn’t grasp what to do and Avonle helped me out.
