Notes

I knitted this sweater with short sleeves and I don’t continue with colorwork after sleeve separation.

My neckband isn’t folded (like pattern ask for) but 7 cm high same as cuffs and hem.

My colorwork was done slightly differently than usual. I used ONLY one CC. But top flowers looks in different colors because i added one strand of kidsilk mohair in two colors - one flower pink, next flower - purple and repeat to the end. Every time and every round I cut kidsilk mohair but keep contrast color. I hope it make sense. I had lots of ends of kidsilk mohair in this part of colorwork, my plan to felt them. Adding different colors of kidsilk mohair to flowers are creating beautiful colorful effect and gives extra texture.

I used 2,75 mm needles for ribbing and 3 mm needles for colorwork and stockinette
