Knitted a back neck strip until it (almost) reached from front raglan to front raglan. Picked up stitches.

Continued with v-neck increases every 4th row. Also figured I needed to increase every row just to keep up with the front strip. I am still a bit confused about this :-) but it seems reasonable. Maybe the front strip feels a bit tight?

Thought I would close the v-neck when the proportion between back stitches and front stitches are about the same as in the initial calculation. I now have 100 back stitches and 150 front stitches. A bit more in the front than the initial ratio but that will be fine.

No that’s not right! I increased crazy many stitches and got a weird neckline. I have to rip back and just increase ever 4th row.

Now I got it right. I increased the neckline every 4th row.

The raglan “seam” is now about 25cm which is a length that usually fits me. I tried it on and compared to another garment and it seems right: time to divide.

I will not start the body in the round yet. The front should be perhaps 20-50% wider than the back first.

No that’s not right! The front should be the same number of stitches bigger than in the original calculation. This V-neck confuses me

I have now bound off the body. I plan to crochet a bottom edge once the sleeves are finished.

I have used about 150g for the yoke and body, and have about 130g left. So that should be enough for long sleeves and good size borders.

Sleeves are knit. I have washed it, and the yarn really blooms beautifully!

Now I will crochet!
