Notes

Another wonderful test knit for so talented yamagarami - thank you so much, Bernice!

Luminos is a gorgeous tee knitted in a unique and lovely way.
And I tell you, this is so much fun!

April 9.th:
This is a pretty quick knit even though it’s at relatively small needles. I’m almost done, just have the finishing left. But, I have to put this beauty aside for a little while, due to some other things.

April 14.th:
Finished this beauty today. Now it’s taking a bath and I can’t wait to wear it dancer::skin-tone-2

Details about my version:

Yarn:

  • MC: Garnstudio DROPS Flora
  • CC: TréLiz Ares Sock 75/25 in the greater part, but also some stripes of Millas Mikrofargeri Tynn merino sock

Needles:

  • I got gauge (N.B. look under Gauge) with needle size 3.25 mm and used that for the body and the armhole finishing. I used needle size 3.0 mm for the neck.

  • I used crocket hook 5.5 for the shoulder finishing.

Armhole finishing:

  • I used the larger needle (size 3.25) and picked up 82 stitches (about every stitch). Binded off loosely. This gave an armhole length of 18 cm, which fits me well.

Other modifications:

  • I did no other modifications to the pattern, exept from using two CCs

Yarn amount:

  • MC: 487,9 meters
  • CC: 195,6 meters
  • Details are listed above.

Gauge

  • My stitch gauge was spot on, but it turned out that my row gauge was a bit off after washing the tee. I probably could have blocked it to hit row gauge, but since my own measurements are in between size 2 and 3, it fitted me perfectly!

REMEMBER: Since this tee is knitted in it’s very unique way, both stitch gauge and row gauge affects both length and width!
AND: this is why my Luminos’ circumference is slightly different from what is in the pattern for size 3.

Measurement:

  • Bust circumference: 104 cm
  • Armhole length: 18 cm (as in the pattern for size 3)
