Notes

General
My gauge is very much off so I’m recalculating everything to get a size 3.

C1 Cerise, C2 Rosa, C3 Rödlila

Used 3mm needles for the plain stockinet and 3.25 for everything else.

Elastic for waist from my stash.

TCKAL cast-on post: #1291

Mods

  • cast on 220 st,
  • waistband inside 9 r, outside 10 r, knit together on r 11,
  • started hip increases immediately after finishing waistband, increased every sixth r 8 times = 252 st,
  • not happy with the fit over the hips (must have used smaller needles than I thought on swatch), did a bit of knitting surgery and started knitting upwards, 252 st at start, decreased every 5th r nine times = 216 st, started waistband immediately after last decrease, knit waistband as before but with C2,
  • always knit the garter ridges between each section with C3 & C1,
  • increased as pattern before waffle pattern = 302 st, increased after waffle pattern every 6th st = 352 st,
  • star pattern only works if number of stitches is divisible with four, not three as pattern states, must contact designer,
  • after third stockinet section knit Brain Frieze with C1 & C2, chart r 20 + 1-20 + 1-9,
  • increased 8 st before starting wave pattern = 360 st,
  • knit wave pattern with C1 only,
  • 3-stitch i-cord BO with C3.
