Notes

The combination of these 2 yarns is amazing: nice colour-mix, very comfortable to knit.
As I had problems to make nice bobbles, I made a “half double crochet bobble” from the book Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible: 260 Exquisite Patterns by Hitomi Shida , pg 159.
Nearly 1 year later I took this nice project in my hands to finish it. As always had to reduce stitches for the sleeves for a better fit. Added a little collar in 1/1 twisted rib. Found some matching buttons in my button box.
