Swatch before washing and blocking:
22 st = 10 cm
21 rows = 10 cm

Swatch after washing 3x to make sure all shrinking is done.
22 st = 10 cm
28 rows = 10 cm

I will make the 3-4 years size. It will be slightly smaller than pattern intends, but I will make the sleeves and body extra long to compensate for the lengthwise shrinking.

Frogging to restart.
It’s been a while since I knitted lace and I’m struggling.
The two separate charts are confusing, but still…
I’m considering to use a different pattern for the lace section or use the yarn for another pattern.

Restarting with 67 stitches. I will make an improvised leaf lace yoke with (9x 6 st) +1 = 55 st and then 6 on each side for the buttonband
