Notes

I’m very happy how this sweater come out - very light, soft, warm and absolutely NOOOO Scratchy. I really love Suri Alpaca yarn
Pattern written very professionally - easy to follow and has links to video tutorial, all techniques explained well
I used Ladderback Jacquard technique for long floats because it’s easy and gives neatest result
I didn’t fold neckband in my sweater - prefer taller neck. I started nackband ribbing on needles 2,75mm, than changed to 2,5mm and after to 2,25 mm about for same amount of rounds. My neckband is 8 cm high - equally divided 2,7 cm for each size of needles. Than BO in pattern
