Notes

I love Aimée’s shape and fit, and also Desperate Housewife’s stripe sequence (but not so much the round collar). So here’s my mash up.
I wasn’t happy with the buttonband, for some reason I ended up with a ladder before my ssk’s. After a few failed attempts I decided to pick up and knit 2 st every 3 st and knit a 1x1 “classic” buttonband.
I am not very happy with the cuffs, hem and buttonband. Sabri is too thin and the result looks sloppy even on a 3 mm needle. I will wear it a few times and maybe decide to rip them back and knit them again with a thicker yarn (or with the same yarn held double).
Edit January 9, 2024: I unraveled the cuffs, hem and buttonband, and knitted them again with Sabri held with Yak Yak, for a much better result.
