My gauge is off but I decided to forge ahead anyway and see what happens because 20cm is a lot of ease to play around with. I’m only one stitch narrower anyway so it should work out, and if it’s a bit tighter I’ll be quite happy.

However, my row gauge is 5 rows shorter so I was dreading having super deep armholes. Lucky for me, it looked just fine when I tried it on! raised_hands

I’ve knitted a lot of this on a 4-day camping trip in Sherwood Forest so this is my Willow jumper because it’s passed all the Evermore vibes fallen_leafmushroommaple_leafchestnut

Because my row gauge is off, I knitted 8 rounds of ribbing for the neck edge before the double knitting. Then I knitted 7 rounds before knitting it together with the bottom inside edge.

For the same reason, I’ll be decreasing every 11th round in the sleeves so I end up with a similar length.

FINISHED!

Final bust measurement is approx 106cm even though my stitch gauge is 20sts/10cm² as called for woman-shrugging

Just one of those things I suppose and I don’t think that’ll make any difference to the overall fit anyway. It looks so cosy, I can’t wait to wear it!
