Notes

Love all the details in the pattern, so very neat!

Collar will be folded… on 3.25mm needles. Picking 2 out of 3 across.

Sleeves, picked up 19 stitches in total, to be deceased to the required 15.
1st decrease round: row 14 after pickup row
After last decrease row: 6 more rows. One row in Krokodil, then cuff on smaller needle

Body: first increase 7 cm in. Because I forgot…..

Bust darts at 9 cm in - smallish version.

Row gauge is slightly off again on the upper part until separating the sleeves. So lengthening the body to get approximately intended length, and throwing in an additional set of increases.

Hem on 3.25mm needles again.

Yarn usage:

Collar in Wollmeise: 53g
Body until separating sleeves in HHF: 123g
Sleeve: until cuff in HHF 53g, cuff in Wollmeise: 26g
Body from sleeves to hem in HHF: 226g
Hem lining in TML: 9g
Hem and bindoff in HHF: 13g

Swatched on 4.00/3.75mm needle combo (k/p)
Unblocked 22 stitches on 30 rows
Washed 20 stitches on 29 rows


R&M: 212g
HHF skein 1: 129g
After swatch: 123g
After step 9: 10g
HHF skein 2: 125g

Completely used just until hem
HHF skein 3: 124g
After sleeve 1 (without cuff = green): 48g, rest used in body
HHF skein 4: 123g
After sleeve 2 (without cuff = green): 53g (no clue re the difference…)
HHF skein 5: 124g
Just before hem: 61g, used 63g
After hem and BO: 48g, used 13g
Up to step 9: used 123g of HHF
