Notes

The pattern is absolutely gorgeous !

I am completely in love with the model and the yarn

I used Myak yarn but the baby lace held double and not the Tibetan cloud

I utilised a total of 2340 mètres but yarn held double !

The quantity of the CC was quite insufficient, I deleted the line 115 to have 2 or 3 mètres to make corrections If needed (I ordered only 100grammes because my initial plan was to add a third color)

I knitted a size 3 with the option 2 of narrower back ( more ease at the front)

I initially thought about adding a third color by detailing certain parts of the flowers but I gave up when I saw the design develop superbly by rolling up on the sides of the knit like beautiful shadow puppets. I hesitated between size 3 and size 4 because I like to have enough ease in a cardigan. I had a moment of disappointment when I realized that my flowers on the front of the cardigan were not whole and I almost thought to start again. Then I realized that the back had three large magnificent flowers and also that I was lucky to be able to arrange my decreases under the arms to have the full patterns uncut without the false seam.

Separate sleeves at row 44
Accelerated the decreases to have the whole pattern again at row 59
Earease the beginning of my false steam with duplicated stitches.

Choose the chart with ladderback jacquard and I hardly recommend the technique.

Bind off : Italian bind off

Steek with crochet as recommended, easy and beautiful.

No modifications or problems with the pattern. Everything is very well documented.

I warmly thank Zanette for allowing me to collaborate on the test. It’s a pleasure to exchange with the other fellow testers and all the cardigans are more beautiful than each other. It’s a very well explained project, long but so worth it.
