Swatching. Need 14,3st= 10cm and 12,9 rows = 10cm.

Oops! Should yarn over in the RetP!!!

Swatches lie nice and flat after blocking.

Drops Cotton Merino, 6,0mm hook:
Before: 18 st= 10cm, 16,5 rows= 10cm
After: 15,5st=10cm, 16,5 rows= 10cm

Drops Merino Extra Fine, 6,0mm hook, no yarn overs:
Before: 19,5 st= 10cm, 16 rows= 10cm
After: 17st= 10cm, 15 rows =10cm

Drops merino extra fine, 6,0mm hook, with yarn overs:
Before: 20,5st=12cm, 18 rows= 13cm
After: 20 st = 14cm, 18 rows= 14 cm
Perfect gauge, but very see-through.

Drops Big Merino, 5,5mm hook, with yarnovers:
Before: 17st = 10cm, 18 rows: 10cm
After: 15st = 10cm, 15 rows = 10cm
Very nice fabric, but gauge slightly too small.

Drops Big Merino, 6,0mm hook, with yarnovers:
Before: 15 st = 10 cm, 13,75 rows = 10cm
After: 14 and a bit = 10cm, 12 rows = 10cm
Hdc in 5,0mm: good match

The ‘ribbing’ with slanted Tss still rolls up a bit and it doesn’t look great combined with the fabric in regular Tss.

Will probably do a few rounds of hdc instead of ribbing.

Neatest increase method: pick up front and back loop.
The combi of increase and decrease looks a bit messy, I will just skip the increase and work even.

Casting on!
Increases with back loop leaning away from raglan center stitch. (Third time is the charm…)

Mid-project block: length is good to start edgings.
