Notes

I love the casual fit of the sweater, but I made bunch of modifications.

  1. I skipped the increase rounds in the body in the bust area (I was knitting the 3rd size - 41”)
  2. I started knitting the decolletage approx 10 rows before dividing the sleeves from the body
  3. I followed my own instinct when knitted the raglan decreases in the sleeves
  4. I knitted shorter sleeves than pattern suggested, and thank you for that, because yarn grew a lot when blocked.
  5. instead of rib in neckline I knitted the I-cord edge

Thanks to my modification I got slightly deeper decolletage and I like the result very much. This sweater will have a lot of wearing in upcoming spring!

And the word about the yarn..
I didn’t like it when I was knitting (stitches were uneven, the yarn was hard to manage) but after the blocking sweater transformed into a beautiful, flattering and very comfortable in wearing garment - I really like the effect this yarn, knitted with larger needles gave! airy, but still very warm fabric!
