Notes

Lang yarns Korfu: 79 % Viskose, 21 % Linen

i hold both yarns together, gauge is slightly off. i follow instructions for 54inch to get measures for 50inch

modifications:

  • skipped the lace border above the garter stitch because it would have directed too much attention to my belly g
  • did not like the look of the gap between the hexagon segments, so i added one stitch there (slipped wyib on RS rows, purl in WS rows)
  • bind of neck in knit-stitch (instead of purl)

I LOVE THIS SWEATER!!! it is heavy and i admit that i hated knitting with this thick yarn and needles. but it was worth it, every painful stitch.
