Notes

I’m really happy with the way this sweater turned out!
Mods:

  • co 39 for the sleeves to make them more fitted. I LOVE the way they turned out. Fitted sleeves + relaxed body = perfection!
  • I knit the body 15.5 inches long before separating for the sleeves.
  • I followed the instructions for the decreases but ended with too many stitches. I knitted an additional 4 rounds to decrease some more stitches.
  • 3.5mm needles for neckband; 4mm needles for body and sleeves; 4.5mm needles for binding off the body stitches just before adding the neckband
  • knitted the sleeves inside out.

I used less than 350 grams.

I bought the yarn during our summer vacation in Denmark at the Isager Outlet.

Yarn information
A.L.J. Tweed (by Isager)
4 skeins à 100grams each (100g = 250m)
100% pure new wool
color: 26 S; dye lot 420810

Although the yarn is sold in 100g skeins, it actually consists of 2 skeins à 50g. Not too happy about it because it means hundreds of ends to weave in. Also there are many knots which might be the reason why it was at a discount price.
Also I’m not sure why they put ‘tweed’ in the yarn name because it’s definitely not what I’d define as tweed yarn.
