Notes

I have seen (and tried on) this sweater at the fashion show at Rebel with a twist in november 2023. Love at first sight slightly_smiling_face

Hem on needle 3,75 mm
Body and sleeves on needle 4,5 mm

In the end I had not enough of the Alpaca 1 so I had to order a 4th ball for the last 10 cm of the second sleeve.

I love the end result! The combination of yarns is beautiful, the fit is great and the cables (crossed stitches) are so crisp.

About the pattern:
It is a Scandanavian pattern, a lot less detailed than the patterns we are used to nowadays.
Some examples:

  • the chart of the cables (crossed stitches) is not for the complete 40 row repeat.
  • the pattern doesn’t say when to start the front neckline. You have to calculate it yourself.
  • sleeve decreases: the pattern only says to decrease untill you have x stitches.

It’s ok, but because of this perhaps not very beginners friendly.
