Notes

29 sts x 20 rows - 10 x 10 cm on 2.5 needles

I’ll use Tatyana’s design as inspiration.
Plan to make topdown and seamless (hate seaming!) and with contiguous sleeves (using an amazing technique developed by Susie Myers, “contiguous set-in sleeves”).

As I was knitting topdown and my gauge was totally different, I was not using the intarsia chart, just improvising. Plan to stitch knot and “shadows” by hand afterwards.

All in all, I’m happy with the result. Could have done shorter shoulder part - it’s a bit too big (well, she’s still growing, so no big problem :)). Lovely yarn, nice to touch and knit (a bit splitty though)
