After knitting a lot of Top-Down, NON Raglan sweaters where you have to pick up stitches and put them on hold and such, I wanted to have something comfortable, brainless, knitting in the round.
And after a lot of sweater knitting, I now wanted a cardigan. So I did some pattern research and decided I finally want my own Comodo!
Currently, I plan to NOT make it so drapey in front. And I might also increase some more stitches in front to make the fronts a little closer together.

Cast on and after app. 4 increases, I took the time to REALLY look at the photo tutorial for the M1r and M1l increases used…oergs
So now there are some holes where they are not supposed to be… but I will leave it like that probably, the cast-on tail is long enough to sew them up…

Continued the front increases only in rows with back increases, in all other rows I do a k2tg at the beginning and a ssk at the end of the row.
Finished the second ball of yarn shortly after the 14th back increase.

Finished 5 TH ball oft yarn halfway into the sleeve
August 18, 2019
Finished first sleeve. Meanwhile started my second Comodo from scrap yarn, but promised myself that I will finish this first one by the end of this week so I wear it in my hiking vacation… If the weather forecast is right, it might be too warm to wear it, but anyway…

Finished knitting, wove in ends, washed and let dry flat.
I did not try it on so far, but it seems it gained quite some length in the wash, so I assume it will be app. 65 cm long noch instead of 60 cm before washing -we will see.
Ended up using a tiny bit of the 7th ball of yarn - I would guess about 10 g of it. I could have gone away with 300 g of fingering yarn if I made the sleeves not full length, but 7/8 or did the body a little shorter.

Tried it on and really love it!
Did 26 back increases in total
Would probably only do 20 to 23 next time.
Sleeves are on the tight side so will separate after 11 yos next time.
