Notes

Knitting the upperpart of stockinette needle 4
Did the stranded with 4.5 for slighty bigger gauge(19st) to create more ease(25 cm instead of the 10cm in the pattern)

repeat only chart 2 for the back and front because i’ve loved the little birdy in chart 2 so much

Adjustement to make it one size bigger
The body
before seperating the body from the sleeves I’ve added in the last 2 rows of the body 2 extra sts before the armholes, a totall of 8 extra sts and after seperating adding 16 sts instead of the 12 sts like the pattern written instructions.
The body is 16 st bigger and started with the chart number 2 after 4 sts and stopped 4sts
for the side marker ,totall width is 126 cm

The sleeves
After seperating the body from adding 3 extra sts in the armholes ,for weider sleeves(about 42 cm)and needle 4 (82 sts total)
needle 4 changes the row gauge( 19sts x28 rows) so decreased every 7the row
it was or a much widder gauge 18st and 24 row( needle 4.5),this was creating a bad wing effekt or 19 sts and 28 rows (needle 4),this was giving a smoother result
increasing 6 times instead of 5 times before the ribbing
Ribbing on sleeves 48 sts on needle 3.5
