Notes

I don’t follow the pattern precisely, use it only as an inspiration.

18.01.2015:

Gauge with yarn held double (after washing):

26 sts & 42 rounds = 10 cm in reverse stockinette stitch.

11 sts = 4 + 3 +4 = 31 mm in cable pattern.

14 sts = 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 39 mm in cable pattern.

20 sts = 69 mm in lace pattern.

23.01.2015

Provisional cast on 174 sts (back - 55 sts, sleeves - 16 sts each, front - 87 sts).

Anatomical raglan.

35 Shadow Wrap Short-Rows at the beginning of the yoke on 3 mm needles. After that back is 85 sts, front is 93 sts, sleeves are 30 sts each.

Switched to 3.5 mm needles.

26.01.2015:

The yoke is completed (94 rows total, including shortened rows at the beginning). Back is 117 sts, front is 125 sts, sleeves are 72 sts each. Divided yoke stitches for body and sleeves, adding 13 stitches at each underarm.

30.01.2015:

Undid provisional cast on.
6 rounds of double knitting on 2 mm needles (decreased 14 sts in the first round, 320 sts = (174 - 14) x 2);
