Notes

I am not the happiest with the result: the orange colour bled on the white and although I could minimise the stain, it still doesn’t look neat. Also, the collar is too wide and gapes in the back. I will wear it a few times and decide if I keep it or not.

Gauge: 24 st - 32 r
Body stripes: 8 white - 2 brown. 14 brown stripes, finish with 15 white rows.
Sleeves: I started colourwork on row 47 after the short rows section. I started the decreases at the same point, every 11th row until 50 stitches left (9 decrease repeats).
black: 16 cm from armpit - 30 cm from shoulder / 9 brown stripes and 9 white stripes (2 rows) / 18,5 cm brown
Cuffs : 4 x 1 ribs on 2,5 mm needles. 7 cm (25 rows). I cord bind off.
Button band: One row buttonhole on row 7 of the button band.
