Chest measures 90 cm.

Gauge is slightly larger

Swatch:
3,0 mm needles
Before washing: 23 st, 34 rows in 10cm.
After washing: 24 St, 32 rows

Update while knitting: closer to 26st, 36 rows.

3,5 mm needles
Before washing: 22 st, 32 rows in 10cm
After washing: 24 St, 32 rows in 10 cm.

Lace on 3,0 mm needles: slightly larger stitches than stockinette
Lace on 2,5 mm needles: (starts row 14, at lifeline), a bit uneven

I will knit the lace on 2,75mm needles and the neckline on 2,25 mm.
Body on 3,0mm needles.

Oh no!!!
I have accidentally been knitting 9 repeats and that is size 3, which is way too large.
I will restart with 8 repeats.
I have downloaded the update. Now I can make the version with hidden holes in the lace, which is nice because the holes were turning out a bit asymmetrical.
Chest measurements are also updated in the 2.0 version. I’m a size 3, but I’ll be making size 2 because I want less positive ease.

Restart with 8 repeats, again starting with 2,25mm needles.

Starting chart 3A. After row 14, I have to decide between short or regular yoke.
Chose regular yoke.

Lace done!
Moved BOR 20 st, to make another part of the lace centered at the front.
Increased to 352 st; might need a few more underarm stitches.
Increased to 354 st (one on each shoulder).

Adapted the short rows a bit.
Then knitted 2 more rows before sleeve separation.

I will alter the sleeve separation numbers to 54-68-109-68-55 because of my new CB placement, with 8st CO under the arms. I like the sleeves with even numbers for the ribbing and might decrease a few st on the body after fitting.

Sleeves separated, underarm holes seem okay.
77 st = 32 cm at 24st/10cm
Must decrease to about 23cm = 55st

Sleeve length about 44cm = 140 rows
Decrease every 12th row

(Measurements similar to my pink sweater from Bonprix)

Tried it on: almost done!

From marker: knit 2 cm, then start increasing.
Total extra length should be about 6-10cm

Bottom part of the body is knit with the unravelled yarn from the first yoke and it’s a bit less even. It might improve with washing, but maybe I shouldn’t do this again with a cotton mix yarn in a plain stockinette section.
