Was sneeking around this pattern since it has been published, and as I knit nearly all of Heidi’s patterns more than once so far, I think it should be a good investment.
I love striped pullovers with boatnecks, so I guess this should be a winner.

Plan to reduce width of neckline a bit, using this tip of Heidi »

Started the all-around rounds around front, back and sleeves. As I did more stripes, I ended picking up 94 stitches instead of the 66 recommended, but I think I will like the comfy armhole better. Not totally sure if I will also cast on more under the arms - probably not.

Started the bottom ribbing at the body part.

Started sleeves picked up and nit 100 thirteen stitches. Plan to do two green stripes alternating with light blue then petrol then white and the normal light blue and marine blue again.

Picked up around the neckline after finishing sleeve 1, did 4 rounds of k1, p1 in 2.75 mm needles, cast off using a stretchy cast off.
Started 2nd sleeve. Ran out of dark blue yarn, so we will see if I can finish the second one only using light blue, white and green. Otherwise I might have to add a different shade of dark blue.

Ran out of the green yarn after 12 stripes, decided to use a cream coloured normal sockyarn to finish the total 16 stripes.

Finished! Tried it on before washing and quite like how it looked. Neckline is exactly as I wanted, sleeves are a bit wider than ideal, I would go for smaller sleeves in my next one.
And yes, I think there will definitely be a next one.
