Notes

30-05-2023

Made a swatch with Lang Yarns Merino 150 on 3.5mm needles, but the gauge is a bit off. I get 29 stitches in 10 mm. I think I’m going to buy different yarn, because i fear this is going to be too loose on 3.75 or 4mm needles.

03-06-2023

Cast on for size 5/6. The gauge I had in my swatch would make it quite tight for a 3-year old. And size 4 had the same bust circumference as size 3, so still too small.

Now I “only” need to fold and attach the cuffs, neckband and hem… I’m fearing I underestimated how long that’s going to take…
