Compared to the test version, I made a few modifications to suit my preferences.

I worked the neckband in CC, followed by 2 rounds in the MC before starting the yoke increases.

At the sleeve separation, I cast on 26 stitches under each arm to keep the pattern repeat intact.

After separating the sleeves, I mirrored the chart once more. To make the transition work, I knit 3 rounds featuring only the flower stems and then moved the beginning-of-round marker (BOR) to the left underarm. I continued with an additional 9 cm of stockinette stitch in the MC before working the hem.

The lace hem measures 5.5 cm.

The total under arm length is 40 cm.

For the sleeves, I worked 8 rounds in stockinette stitch, then decreased 2 stitches every 6th round 4 times. I finished them with the lace cuff worked in the contrast colour.

I’m very happy with these adjustments, which allowed me to maintain the flow of the motif while adding a few personal touches to the design.

Many thanks to Elenor for the opportunity to test this beautiful design. As always, it was a pleasure to knit, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the floral motif come to life round by round.
