Notes

Every sleeve weights 23 grams. I just divided the yarn in Damask which left from knitting the body of the sweater.

I chose size S with almost none ease due to the yarn metrage which was limited. I had only 2 skeins of Damask and one skein of Irish Black. I bought them 3 years ago so there was no way to buy more.

Knitting yoke was fun but I ripped a couple of times to find the perfect short rows. I used Japanese short rows technique- it gave me the best result- so neat!

My mod:
- shorter sleeves; I decreased 4 sts after the X pattern as follows:
size S: (k15, k2tog) 4 times.

I find this sweater a great top for layering. So fun to make and fun to wear.

I like the graphic and bold result.
