Notes

My measurements
Bust: 83 cm / 32.5 in
Height: 165 cm / 5 ft 5 in
Weight: 51 kg / 112 lbs

Yarn
Using two strands of Knitting for Olive Merino held double.

Collar
I love how neatly the folded collar sits with the single round of purls. I sewed the folded collar which created a very smooth and nearly non-existent inner seam (as seen in photo).

Sleeves

  • When picking up stitches for the sleeves, I used Petite Knit’s technique for avoiding gaps: https://youtu.be/LAldblR3R4A?si=9968p0lrrV2XRIXe
  • Shortened sleeve length (from underarm to before cuffs) to 40cm
  • Worked 16 rounds of 1x1 ribbing for cuffs and bottom band
  • My cuff circumference was a bit smaller than listed in the pattern (22 cm rather than 25 cm), but that’s because I tend to knit things more tightly when working with small circumferences. I really like the slight balloon sleeve effect it created. :)
