Notes
  1. Bougainvillea - Mohair No. 50
  2. Blood Queen - Mohair No. 30
  3. Pomegranate - Mohair No. 30
  4. Poppy - Mohair No. 30

Started with the same size like my blue fade. Since I am using bigger needles and muBamboo held together with silk/mohair, I changed to a smaller size towards the end of Yoke section one… will keep measuring quite often as I go along.
Separation of Sleeves:
Sleeve sts. 77 per sleeve
Body sts. 131 per side - reducing to 130 sts. per side before ribbing.
Length of body from underarm to bottom, before ribbing: 37cm, followed by 5cm ribbing with 3.25mm needles.
Sleeves: picked up 13 underarm stitches = 90 sts.
decreasing 2 sts. every 6th rows until 60sts., after which every 5th rows until 50sts.
34cm (down to 50sts.) from underarm to bottom before ribbing. Reducing 2sts. to 48sts. for 7cm of 2/2 ribbing (26 rows) on 3.25mm needles.
Neck: picked up the neck sts., knitted 3 rows - reducing 3sts. per shoulder on the 3rd row, followed by an iCord BO.
