Notes

I love the result so much!
Love the tight texture, a good combination of 2 different yarns. Love the pockets, which I got inspiration from Olivia by Kim Hargreaves.

I thank to Alice Bell, the designer for sharing, and I love those who have participated in this cardi Kal.

一緒にKALしてくれた皆様、ありがとう~

Knit one strand of 100%wool and one strand of kid mohair together through the project.
The main color is dark grey and I add bright navy to it, which the fabric looks rich and row denim, I think.

Gauge:
19sts x 24 rows in st st on JP#7(4.2mm)
one pattern(4sts) of Basket Weave is 2cm on jp#4(3.3mm)
1st=0.5mm Co for M is 124sts, which x0.5=62cm- 5cm(10sts of button band)=57cm (neck)
Cable CO 124sts.

  • Eylet button hole
  • Raglan inc…m1r,k,sm,k,m1l
  • 82sts /48cm in the back after steam ironing. I try it on and I love it!
  • 8cm from armhole before starting side shaping
  • there are 122rows/50.8cm (122/2.4) for body.
  • need 168 rows for button band (1cm=3.3rows, 3.3x51)
  • Join body and band using Mattress Stitch. 168-122=46 122/46=2..30 3sts30times, 2sts16times
  • sleeves: from armpit to before basket weave=41cm=98rows i don’t increase extra 2sts from both between the 4sts cast on and the start of the sleeve sts. So, start sleeve with 65sts until 44sts left. Decrease on every 7 rows 11times.
  • 袖カフスの開きを外側にもってくる。内側にボタンがくるとちょっと気になるかなっと思いました。手持ちのジャンパーの位置を真似っ子。 Change the open of the cuff from inside sleeve to outside, thinking about inside buttons may hinder my work such as keyboarding.
    start the cuff at the 13th st from m. Place a button hole on the 4th row of the 5th patt. Got 6 and a half basket-weave patterns for a cuff.
  • bottom band: 161sts in ss:1.9st=x:2.3 x=195sts→192sts(multiple of 4) 192sts-161sts=31sts 192/31=6…6 7sts6times, 6sts25times, using jp#5 needle instead of jp#4, which was broken.
  • picked-up patch pockets

07/02 Got 9 buttons and sewed them. Will do water blocking later today.
Looking alright :D
