Notes
  • Planned as gift for mom, but the bust-size turned out too small for her, so keeping this myself (but this took a week to knit, so can be done again)…
  • Was thinking of smth between sizes 2 and 3, cast on size 3…
  • By accident misread the chart and there is 1 stitch less between the flower motifs, so that’ll narrow the vest… And my gauge was tighter…
  • Also had this as travel knitting and didn’t have the pattern with me, so freestyled the neck-opening…
  • Main green old stash (pre 2020) bought when this colour or yarn was discontinued… Turquoise yarns bought last summer, but they might be discontinued too…
  • Corrugated-ribbing for all the edges…
