Notes

It was such an honour to test this beautiful cardigan, I have been an admirer of designer Helene Magnusson work for many years dizzy

Thank you for having me Hélènerevolving_hearts

Notes on my sample
I knit the no hood version and added a button band instead of zip.
I omitted the elbow reinforcement short rows.
I included my back short rows in the knitting of the body of the back,
adding a short row of +/- 40st every 8cm, I did this four times.

I used the chart for the sleeve underneath the yoke chart and I used the same sleeve chart on the bottom of the sweater. Adjusting my stitch count to accommodate the size 3 I knitted.

I also shifted the last 20st of the yoke chart to fall between the motif below instead of directly above white_heart

yarn
I held Rowan felted tweed with mohair throughout.
Using the Aran tweed weight for the colours treacle and stone .
And holding the tumeric moordale and the felted tweed colour double . (The Rowan colour tweed is not produced in Aran only a light sport)

I would unravel the colour to find the shade I wanted.
