Notes

Using my 2013 gift certificate from my in-laws - orginally wanted a thicker yarn without colour transition, but they had not enough left - so this will have to do.

Gauge
32 stitches = 18 cm
18 stitches = 10 cm
8 rows = 5cm
16 reihen = 10 cm
Pattern gauge to be multiplied with 1,50
CO 120 stitches (to reach multiple of 4)

Jan 18th
Finished first 40 cm, have to do the math for the short rows with my gauge.
Knit 44 stitches in pattern before 1st turn
Repeat short rows a total of 9 times

Jan 25th
Picked up 56 stitches for lower cuff, did 14 rows of ribbing
Picked up 57 Stitches for sleeves

Jan 30th
Finished 1st sleeve

FINISHED! The front border took FOREVER although I knitted it directly to the front with an garter stitch bind off. Now have to weave in ends.

If I did it again, I would definitely make the main part longer for a better kidney coverage - I only unterstood the construction after binding of for the main part. Like the shawl collar a lot, though, and I am very glad I knitted it directly on the whole thing -would not have been able to sew it as accurately.
Did an Icord edging at the front band.
