Notes

She wants a purple lining in the neck. And 56 cm long.

Casted on for small=260 stitches. Did 2x2 ribbing 16 rows instead of moss stitch.

A bit conserned since the yarn is coloring my hands while knitting. Will find out if the rest of the skeins do the same…

Oooops… She wanted it 56 cm long and before making the armholes and short rows I now have 60 centimetres! Og well. Now it doesn’t get too short (I was afraid of that) and I hope she will not notice… hihi

I had to make a test patch and it is now in the washing machine. I hope it will turn out black and white when it’s finished.

I decreased accordingly to the pattern - but went from Small to X-small for the last two decreases. (180 and 160 stitches instead off 196 and 168))

I am very pleased with the result. And love the purple! I really hope it will fit Silje :)
