Notes

This alpaca is a perfect soft non itchy dupe for mohair:)

Made several swatches, I like the semi-transparent drape with machine tension 4.5/3 the most for this yarn.

Gauge 17 x 21 so in order to get size 3, which equals 0-5cm ease for me, I had to recalculate the knit gauge by 1.17x and the row gauge 1.11x .

I skipped the increases at the cuffs, so the sleeves are fitted too.

total weight 85 gram (!!!) > 0.5 skein left

Very clear and detailed pattern. Sewing the pieces together was a bit of a mission. But it turned out as a very easy wearing wardrobe staple, I’m happy:)

UPDATE
I’m not really wearing it unfortunately, I made it with no ease, but that turns out to be a bit unflattering on me. I’ll make another slightly bigger one!
