Notes

Colors: smitten with color combo of several other Aftur knitters. Shamelessly copied their colors.

Sleeves: old Norwegian cast-on 40 sts in blue on size 5 dps. Knit one round grey then k2p2 for 18 rows (3” from cast-on). Switch to size 6 dps. Increase on rnd 9 as per pattern. Finished with 62 sts, 12 put on hold.

10-18-2016

Sleeves 107 rounds in stockinette.

10-27-2016

Body decreases like strokkur rows 21 29 37 47 (should have been 45). Increases rows 62 70 78 86.
Total 90 rows stockinette, measures 15” from cast-on.

10-29-2016

Yoke: 12 sts for each underarm on holder. 180 body stitches - (12x2) = 156.

Yoke 50 + 78 + 50 + 78 = 256 sts. Move eor to center front. Set up markers like Strokkur. On 11th rnd after sleeves joined, follow Strokkur for decreases and short rows. 248 stitches.

Neck line like Strokkur, sewn bind-off. Bottom of sweater was long-tail cast-on in two colours but the amount of blue was too skimpy. Picked up with blue, in the grey purl bumps then bound off purlwise.
