Notes

Edging with 2.5mm needle. Body and arms with 3.0mm. Yoke pattern with 3.5mm.

The gauge got me nuts. I had to get DOWN 0.5mm?!?! Normally a have to knit with additional 0.5mm! Which in this case means, that I expected to knit the project with 3.75 or 4.00mm and ended up with 3.00. So I restarted after 5cm… (Well, yes, I had a swatch. With the other colour. And I did not really believe what it said. See above. Beginner’s mistake.)

Body: 46cm, ca 180rs = +6cm
Arms: Nach 10cm 1. Zunahme, dann jede 11. Reihe; ins. 14x = +26sts. Danach weitere 5cm stricken bis 53cm: +13cm. (rs: 48, 59, 70, 81, 92, 103, 114, 125, 136, 147, 158, 169, 180, 191). Am Ende von R217 10M abketten.
Yoke: changed to smaller needles - 2.5mm - added one row each before and after diagram 5.1.
Changed to 2.0mm for edging.
