Notes

Needed 3 skeins and about 10 m extra for this sweater (luckily I had a 4th skein). Love this yarn !

This pattern is brilliant but the start of it is not for relaxed knitting - for the first time in my knitting life I had to use lifelines ! Restarted the yoke twice but the brioche triangle was fairly easy, and after that just plain stockinette.

Changes:

  • knit body first instead of sleeves

  • no bust or side shaping in the body

  • split hem at the bottom

  • 3 inches for sleeve cuffs

  • bottom hem and sleeve cuffs were knit using 2.5 mm needles
