Notes

Gauge (6.0 mm):15.5 sts+24 rows = 10cmx10cm

I adore this sweater & will definitely be knitting another one (or 2). It`s a super-quick knit & I am completely smitten with Léttlopi.

I made a few modifications to better fit my body - namely decreasing the yoke depth & knitting at a tighter gauge (my finished sweater has a chest circumference of 39”). I highly recommend both the pattern & wool!

Notes
-3.75 mm needles for tubular CO (waste yarn, foundation row & increase row)
-5.0 mm needles for both tubular set-up rows + ribbing
-6.0 mm needles for main fabric
-separated the sleeves immediately after completing r.7 of the 3rd lace repeat

BODY
-CO 9 sts (5 + 4 sts) at underarms instead of the 11 sts called for (148 body sts)
-worked 65 round in stst (~12” from underarm bind-off); change to 5.0 mm needles & work 12 rows in 1x1 ribbing (~2”); tubular bind-off w/ 5.0 mm needles
* next time work 70 rows before beginning ribbing
SLEEVES
-picked up 11 sts per pattern over the underarm CO
-worked 15 rounds after least decrease round before beginning ribbing
-worked 20 rounds of 1x1 ribbing (5.0 mm needles); tubular bind-off also with 5.0 mm needles
