Notes

Casted on yesterday afternoon. Using hiya-hiya 2.25mm for the small collar, 3.5mm for the body (both stainless steel) and plan for bamboo 4mm (addi) for the colourwork part.

02.04.2020

I skipped the last increase round after the colourwork. As such, front and back has each 114 stitches, instead of 132. Bamboo needles, combined with this yarn? Probably not…

04.04.2020

since 47cm (length of the garment) only reaches out my navel, I decided to add another 10cm/ 35rows (according to gauge) and then try to block it at 60cm - ideal.

Finished!!!

As I had skipped the last increase round, post colourwork, I followed that by skipping also the last decrease round (I had 264 stitches instead of 300, as pattern states). And used the blue yarn for the icord edge on both sleeves. It weighs 110 grams.

Beautiful knit!
