Notes:
Many knitters said it is better start a sweater by the sleeves in order to get the rigth gauge. It will be my first cardigan started by the sleeves, but we will see….
I cast on with italian tubular 54 sts.
First sleeve finished. Minor modifications: for the shaping sleeve I increases every 8 rows 1 sts after the first 2sts in each border.. When I obtain 84 sts I bind off 7 sts at the beginning of the next 2 rows, so the final number are 70 sts and start the shape cap, decreasing every otrher row 1 sts each side until 30 sts remain. At the beginning of the next rows I bind off 2 sts until 18 sts remain and I bind of this remaining sts in pattern.
The back is finished. Minor mod, as the cast on. I put the sts in a provisional yarn because I am not sure how I will do the hem. In any case not as the original pattern. I will try some better finishing
I start the rigth front and instead of work the lower front edge rounded I prefer to do it with bottoms ant totally straight. I cast on 19 sts in italian tubular and the rest sts until 91 in provisional cast on with another yarn.
The cardigan weights 340 gms, still I have near a cone for other project
