Finished the back, almost at the point where I’m joining fronts. It’s knitting up quickly!

When I measured my back, it was 1 cm too short and I decided to add 2 st rows but it seems it was unnecessary since the measurements are the blocked measurements and it will likely grow after blocking.

I didn’t make other changes except that I used 3.75 mm needles for the sleeves instead of 3.5mm.

Also, after blocking, I can see that my tension during the « wild oats » section was tighter, I could have used a bigger needle size for that section. I’m still happy about my sweater though!

This particular yarn doesn’t grow as much as some others after blocking, like merino, for example.

Final measurement (blocked)

Bust circumference: 108cm
Sleeve length from underarm: 40cm
Underarm to hem: 31,5cm
Yoke dept: 25cm
Cuff circumference: 24cm

This is a really lovely pattern and I love the yarn!

I can’t recommend both enough
