Notes

23.09.2025 Choosing three colours that would play with each other was not easy. But now I’ve settled for these three: MC old pink
CC1 peach pink
CC2 tomato
24.09.2025 Finished the neckband and short rows.
25.09.2025 I’m happy with my colours! The pattern details can be seen clearly. Here in the yoke picture I’ve got 16 rows done on chart A.
28.09.2025 Rows 17-31.
30.09.2025 Rows 32-35.
04.10.2025 Rows 36-42.
08.10.2025 Chart A finished. I separated for the sleeves today.
20.10.2025 I’ve been knitting the body today. I had to frog about 14 rounds as I realized the yarn ball I had changed into was a bit darker and I didn’t want a clear line to show that. Luckily I was able to find a ball of yarn which was a perfect match!
21.10.2025 I have 20 cm from the armhole and I think it’s time for the hem detail.
26.10.2025Just bound off the hem. (28 cm from the armhole.)I made the hem cable detail in MC. I love the look.
27.10.2025 Knitting the sleeves.

yarn I used MC old pink 238g 809m
(167g/ 570 m for the body, 71g /239 m for the sleeves)

CC1 light peach 32g /109m
CC2 tomato 102m/31g

31.10.2025 Finished the sleeves and I am going to block it today.

After blocking 29 cm from the armhole
48 cm from mid front to hem
sleeve 39 cm
