Notes

Test knit for Gralina Frie. Mjuk means ‘soft’ in Swedish.

Totally adorable! And I love the seamless design! There is neck shaping, but since it’s achieved with German short-rows, the whole thing still stayed seamless.

I worked the body with the suggested needles, 3mm and 3.5mm. But I knit tighter in the round, so I went up a needle size for both the cuff and the sleeve, 3.5mm and 3.75mm.

Finished chest: 18”
Finished height, from shoulder to hem: 9”
Finished sleeve, from underarm: 5-1/2”

MODS (Tiny ones)
~Hem: I worked an extra ridge of garter at the bottom hem to make sure it doesn’t flip up.
~Sleeves: I spread out the dec rounds a bit more to every 9 rounds apart. That way I made the final one right at beg of the cuff. But it lengthened my sleeves by 1/4” and next time I’d rather make them every 8 rounds instead.
