Notes

I pinned a very similar sweater on Pinterest for a long time.

I’m only using the chart and numbers because I can’t understand Norwegian, but I’ve made round yoke sweaters before and it worked!

Love this super soft yarn. Sweater is a bit oversized as I lost a lot of weight since I cast on.

Swatching:
Ribbing seems okay or a bit loose on 5mm needles.
Stockinette on 6mm: 19 stitches and 24 rows = 10 cm

Stockinette on 6,5mm: 16 Stitches and 21 rows = 10 cm
After washing on wool program: 16 Stitches and 22 rows = 10 cm

Sleeve cuffs: 18 rows.
Increase to 48 stitches in row 21.
Start colorwork directly in row 22

Sleeves measure 23cm after colorwork. Total sleeve is 48 cm, so 25 cm to go, in which increasing from 48 to 65 stitches, so 17 increases in roughly 53 rows. Will increase every 7th row and one increase in the end

Cast on 184 st for the ribbing of the body

Hooray!
Finally past the rows with 4 colors. I was dreading them so much, the sweater hibernated for months
