Notes

I tried to make a sample with 4.5 mm needles, but besides don’t liked how the work looked, very loose, however I was not really in the gauge required by the pattern; in fact I had 19 sts and 30 rows in 10 cm.

I preferred to use a 4.00 mm needle, so the work is more compact and my gauge is 19.5 sts for 26 rows.

For now I am satisfied, now we start!!

For Hem I used 3.5 mm needles

For the body I used just over 4 balls of white, almost 1 ball of blue and about half a ball of mint

For the sleeves I used 2 balls of white, about half a ball of blue, and half a ball of mint

Neckband:

The only change made!
Since my version will be a spring/summer version I decided not to make a 1x1 rib neck, but I wanted to leave the neck wide.

To do this I pick up stitches as for pattern and I made an I-cord bind off.
