Notes

Used stitch counts between first and second size to recalculate for my gauge as my planned bust circumference falls right between the two sizes.

Worked M1L/M1R as knit or purl stitch as required.

Did not do the double increases on back at beginning of yoke as I found them messy/they don’t line up with arm increases. Instead did one increase on RS at marker and another one right after on WS. Also knit 1 stitch after/before back sleeve markers (contrasting the purl stitches on back) to later have a defined sleeve increase line right from the start.

Size 5mm as main size, 4mm for neckline ribbing, 6mm for bottom bindoff.

Restarted 15/02/23 - skein 1
14/03/23 - started skein 2 @Vikkel + 15r
24/03/23 - partial skein for upper body finishings (placket, neckline) - 13gr
26/03/23 - skein 3 @88r
31/03/23 - skein 4 for sleeves - 45gr remaining
02/04/23 - second sleeve with remaining skein from sl1
06/04/23 - skein 5 @~110r - finished same day with 94gr remaining
06/04/23 - continue body with remainder of skein 5 @157r
