Notes

’Graaf een kuil
en plant je boom
voorzichtig
naast de mijne.

Kunnen ze elkaar
uit de wind houden
als het stormt
of in de zondag zon
samen zwijgen.

En als ze ‘s avonds
door de wimpers
van hun twijgen
naar elkaar kijken
beginnen ze al
op een bos te lijken.

Jaap Robben voor de Groene Week 2012.

Modifications:
Body: I made the body piece longer after de hip increases. Made some extra increases too.
Ended the body with four rows of rib stitch.
Sleeves: picked up stitches under the arm instead of casting on. Ended the sleeves with 12 rounds of rib stitch.
Collar: Picked up all the stitches from my cast on and knitted two rows of rib stitch. Than I made a short row section so that the collar would be a bit higher in the back. To avoid to much stretching I sewed a single tread of yarn in bind off row of the collar.
Button band: I picked up all the needed stitches in de front and knitted 5 rows of rib stitch (right side with button holes)
Used rib stitch:
knitting back and forw. every row: (ktb1, p1) repeat
knitting in rounds round 1 as above and round 2: (k1, ptb1) repeat

My Oak Wood Buttons are from Wooden Artist
