Steeked based on Iced Petals Jumper from Drops Design “Knitted jumper with round yoke and Nordic pattern in DROPS Sky. The piece is worked top down. Sizes S – XXXL.”

Yarn

Handspun 2 strands Corridale and 1 strand bamboo in a slighty different view, about a thin/cheap dk the contrast is three strand polworth

Prep

knitted a hat, was too tight so have decided to just add more stitches to get the correct size 24/21 x number of stitches 8/7, turns out this is the xxxl of the pattern, will keep the vertical distances the same the jumper will be a lot longer that the original pattern

- completed rib for neck 2x2 as I am lazy going backwards and forwards going in the round when stocking stitch - 2nd row short row, will add more short rows after pattern on yoke is finished - got to 13th row of pattern

obsessed with this pattern now, will need to spin some more yarn soon nearly finished pattern will have to add short rows to lower neck

finished pattern missed penultimate row, it will be interesting to seen how my tension works out I need to spin more yarn, spinning bamboo isn't easy might get this finished before I go away
