Notes

Testknitting

yarn DK - size: 3 m

Exact gauge: 6,5 sts, 9,5 rows/inch

1 skein is dangerous. It might succeed, but chances are you won’t, end up with not enough yarn and have to find creative solutions. I anticipated and added 8 rows of colorful squares in Brazilian football colors.

I cast on with a long tail cast on instead of the Channel Island Cast on.
Followed the pattern for dk/3 m exactly, only added 1 st to the body to have an even number for knitting squares.

It is an easy and comfortable knit. The only thing I have troubles with is the neck. But it could improve after blocking. Pictures are unblocked.
