Notes

This sweater design were inspired by wedding dress designed by Victor and Rolf for Dutch princess Mabel.
Very stylish sweater - so happy with result

I achieve right gauge using same size needles as pattern suggested
2,75 mm - neckline ribbing
3,00 mm - hem and cuffs ribbing
3,5 mm - cable pattern

i knitted sweater without any changes to pattern and choose body shape version. But pattern provides straight body as well.

I’m also very happy with my choice of yarn. I know mYak yarn is one of my favorite too, but i didn’t have it in my stash. John Arbon Textile yarn is very high quality as well and has lots of beautiful colours to choose from.

I made only few knitted bows on back side to create fake button closure looks like.

Burst circumference 94 cm
Bottom body circumference (after shaping) 88 cm
Yoke length at the front 24,5 cm
Neck circumference 50 cm
Upper arm circumference 32 cm
Bottom arm circumference 26 cm
Sleeve length from underarm 46 cm
