Notes

Test knit for Hanna.
Thank you so much for letting me test! :)

Modifications;

  • Subtracted 6 sts in sleeve shaping section because of my looser st gauge. (The upperarm circumference is 26cm after blocking, it has pretty ease for me (my exact upperarm is 19.5cm) but it is so comfortable.)
  • No buttonholes.
  • Changed starting position of striping.
  • Added 1 more short rows to balance right and left edge stitches of the pocket. (My garter st bumps before working on pockets were 31sts at neck side and 36sts at hem side.)
  • Did i-cord BO for shawl lapel instead of specified BO.

Gauge; 21sts and 27rows (= per “4 in St st on JPN 6, with looser st and tighter row gauge )
