Notes

Yarn: enjoying knitting with Drops Flora again: it knits up so smoothly into such a soft, even fabric heart_eyes (I suspect Flora and Lima are fingering/DK versions of the same blend of wool and alpaca - both equally good to knit with). I’ve chosen colours that I had in stash that match the pattern ones as closely as poss (that I can make out from the little pattern photo! wink), with Dark Grey as the MC.

Pattern: these Sandnes Garn patterns are very simply written, but the info is all there! Pattern bought from Scandinavian Knitting Design (SKD) in the UK. There are quite a few 3-colour rounds in the yoke (not too taxing) and one 4-colour round (yikes scream)… but I got there!

Sleeves: decrease round: k2, m1L knit to last 2 sts, m1R, k2. Dec round repeated every 8th round.

It taken a while to get this one finished, but it’s been a slow burner that has turned out brilliantly heart_eyesblushraised_hands I LOVE the colours together - the coral and yellow against the neutrals heart_eyes
