Notes

25/08/18: First try was totally off, didn’t like the fit and even with converting to my swatch (and recounting…) my neckline width wouldn’t look anything like the pattern pic…
Made a fresh start while being on Heligoland.

13/05/23: No clue what went wrong on the first try… I restarted this in mid-April 2023 and got it done in record time--and with plenty of yarn left see_no_evil Will probably make a sweater for M with the leftovers.

Knit an intermediate size (recalculated and adapted to my gauge difference) between S and M.

Jogless stripes from Techknitting.

Gauge 4mm: pre 26x35, post 24.5x38
