Notes

Once again, Natasja has managed to create a beautiful feminine design that many people want for themselves.
I am delighted to be among the first to knit it.

The Stilla has a stunning design, and the most time-consuming part of knitting it is the neckline. However, the pattern is addictive and can be completed quite quickly.

I am using Sport Nouveau yarn, which is slightly thicker than Fingering yarn, but not significantly so. This actually works in my favor, as I need a little more positive ease than size two would give me.
The beginning requires attention to ensure that all stitch markers are in the right places. After that, the pattern is easier to follow. It’s not worth rushing, because the placement of the drops is not exactly the same on the shoulders and the front and back.

I do not recommend pulling the main yarn too tightly behind a drop when knitting. At first glance, it seems that the drop is more effective in this case, but it actually stands out better when it is spread more widely.

There are only decreases on the sides of the body, but I added the same number of increases before finishing so that it wouldn’t be too tight for me at the hip.

Yarn used:
MC - 861m
CC ~ 305m
CC Kidsilk Haze ~ 218m

We took the photos at Sutu Bay. My son’s girlfriend was my model.
