Notes

I really like the combination of the Dlana yarn with the Isager alpaca. It makes a very nice blue with some coloured speckles.

I had to read very well what to do on the body with the small moving cables. First cable line, next cable line…
Once it ‘clicked’ it wasn’t difficult at all. What helped me though was to put 4 stitch markers to mark the beginning and end of the cables.

Once the cables meet in the back and reach the sides of the fronts I had to knit another 5 cm before starting the ribbing. I like it more when the ribbing starts immediately after finishing the cables (and the broken rib) but it was too short.

The double knitted button band is a LOT of work but I really like the look of it. Making the buttonholes one repeat smaller because my buttons are a little bit smaller than recommended. Using five buttons instead of four.
