Notes

CO for size 6, but somehow after knitting the yoke found out that it’s still small for my eldest (though my gauge is only a little bit smaller). Increased until size 8 (66 sts for the back), but it still looks better on my almost 6 years old - no problem at all, she also needs a summer cardi :))). Otherwise the pattern is well written and easy to follow.
24/05 started the lower body.
28/05 - lower body and one sleeve finished.
29/05 - second sleeve finished.

used 21 g of light purple, 35 g of dark purple and 2 skeins of the main colour.

Love the result, though made a mistake when blocking - a bit too warm water and the darkest colour “bleeded”.. but the yarn is very nice to knit with
