Body: CO 180sts. joined in the round - knitted one row stockinette before starting chart 1.
After finishing the yoke,I knitted the increase row for size4. To reach the necessary yoke length before separating sleeves, I knitted 10 rows instead of 4 = 25cm from neck to underarm.
Knitting 36cm from underarm before starting bottom lace and ribbing
Using 3.5mm needles for hem pattern and only 2 rows of ribbing (272sts.). Omitted the 2cm of ribbing, since I might run out of yarn
Body used 1.170g of yarn
—————————————
Sleeves: 96sts., reducing 2sts. every 6th row until 86sts., then every 7th row until 82sts… followed by every 6th row until 80sts., then every 5th row until 64sts.
Knitted until 32cm from underarm, followed by 7cm of chart 3 for cuff pattern. Ended with only 2 rows of ribbing.
—————————————
01.03.2026 - have to face the fact that my yarn won’t be enough for both sleeves. Length of each sleeve should reach 44cm from underarm. With my yarn I only reach 30cm per sleeve. Therefore I need to improvise.
Will blend in my fingering apple col. merino/silk of Wild Atlantic Yarns, combined with natural cobweb silk/linen from Zauberwiese.
Knitted 4 rows with original yarn, the. blending in the new yarn combo. Ripped !!!

Today feels like Christmas. A knitter from the Zauberwiese forum sent me a PM a short while ago saying that she is on holiday until end of the months, but she has a skein of that yarn in her stash and will sell it to me, once she will return home. So I am soooo very happy
I was saved by Silvia /sisa67 who sold me her skein, which arrived today, 25.3.2026
