I used 2.5 mm needles, sport-weight yarn and the numbers for the small size as I am rather petite. I made long sleeves by adding two extra rows between the increases for the sleeves. After all increases were done I continued straight until the sleeves were long enough and went up to my armholes. Then I followed the armhole shaping as stated in the pattern. For the neckline I mirrored the beginning of the sleeves: I did a garter border and changed to the contrasting colour for the picot.

The pattern was okay to follow but make sure to read through ALL symbols before knitting the charts. When knitting the front piece I didn’t realise that the arrow has a further meaning and therefore had to sew up the picot afterwards. The lace border is a little more complex, the rest of the pattern is mindless TV-knitting.

The yarn was nice to work with and soft. It consists of quite a number of several plies, so although they are well plied together you may want to use a blunter needle. I used wooden KnitPro Symphonies needles.
