Notes

Titicaca and Supersoft held double /triple!

  • started with 156 stitches and 6 rounds of twisted ribbing (3mm ndl)
  • the neckline is rather wide (27cm)
  • added a few short rows to the neck for a better fit
  • gauge 21 sts / 34 rows with 3,5mm ndl
  • I don’t like the look of the woven chart and have knitted the 11 rounds in fair isle stranded knitting, even if the pattern becomes larger.

After 17cm from underarm i´ve added 3 rows of Chart 3 and then worked Chart 4 instead of Chart B. I tried Chart B first, but unrevelt afterwards because the woven stitches are too inelastic. I do not like that around the hem.
I also discontinued with the cable chart after the 17cm from underarm to avoid a gap in between Chart 3 and 4.

The final weight is 330g and the sweater feels wonderful (Holst Garn Noble / Supersoft together with Titicaca is my favourite combination).
Love it! I´ll definitely do a second one with reversed colors.
