Getting stitch gauge on 4,5 mm. My row gauge is a bit off so I will add some plain stockinette rounds after the colorwork.

Neckline
I didn’t want the neck to be too tight. I did a normal (knitted) cast on of the number of sttitches after the first increase round (112 stitches) and of course skipped the first increase round later on.

Yarn
Originally I bought another color to use as a contrast color: Cloud from Knitting for Oive in merino and soft silk mohair. But I found the contrast was too strong, so instead I bought some Isager in a soft pink at my local yanrstore to combine with the light pink soft silk mohair from Knitting for Olive.

Main color: one strand of KfO merino and one strand of KfO soft silk mohair (Dusty Moose).

Contrast Color: one strand of isager Alpaca 2 (pink) and two strands of KfO soft silk mohair (cloud).
