Notes

Followed instructions for size S even though my gauge was off at times, variating between 18-19 sts per 10 cm.

My first time knitting with 2 strands of yarn on purl side - the best method for me turned out to be using the norweigian purl, it’s worth trying - look it up!

I didn’t use twisted rib, did just a regular rib. Tubular cast on, Italian cast off after 8 rows instead of folded neck and arm edge.

The pattern is written mostly well, I couldn’t understand the instructions on the stripe repeat (but it was for size M, not sure how you cope with larger sizes and more color stripes? what is 3.5 stripes?). I did the same size as is photographed, would help to have a picture of knitted garment in other sizes, because it would illustrate better on what to do (are more colors needed then?).

All and all pretty simple garment to make and quick. I enjoyed knitting with Peer Gynt - good yarn for this; good quality, very nordic type yarn, wintery, goot for colorwork, thick and warm. The colors did not bleed after washing!
