I am in love with this top. I will need to wait until summer to wear it but could not resist to cast on immediately. I love the work of this designer Vibe Ulrik. I knitted it with less than 6 balls of Rowan Purelife Revive in Peridot color, a beautiful green.
Pattern comes from Rowan 53 book. Knitted with 4 mm needles.
Husband’s Christmas gift. For finishing it on time I omitted all the cable. It was a very long knitting. Lots and lots of stocking stitching. Hope he likes it. Started this on December 11 and finished it on December 20.
He normally wears L/XL but since I read comments at Ravelry that the sizes were big I knitted the small size and changed the increases in the sleeves using a sweater of him as a guide. Otherwise the sleeves would be very wide.
Pattern is by Martin Storey for Rowan.
Love at first sight. I love everything about this boxy sweater. I knitted it ith 4 skeins of Lang Yarns Odeon with 6 mm needles in a lovely raspberry color.
