GAUGE
Measured after blocking.
Ridged Stockinette pattern on Needle A: 21 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4”.
———————————————————————————
swatched on 3.75mm needles - 21sts.x30rows = only 9x9cm
2 yarns held together and 4mm needles meet the gauge.
—————————————————————————
At the end I decided to use 3.75mm needles after all.
Length of back yoke 22.5 instead of 21cm.(end of 1st skein of Sommerseide).
Stopped yoke after row 6.
End of second skein of Sommerseide at the end of front yoke.
Cast on 3+3 underarm sts.
Knitted the repeat box of the lace chart an additional time.
Will use the RT pattern for the bottom ribbing on 3.25mm needles.
Neck: picked up 144sts. Purled one row, knit one row, followed by 5 rows RT pattern and BO.
Sleeves: cast on 86sts. - altogether 5 repeats of short rows 3 and 4.
