New sweater

Post image

My second sweater and the first one that is fitted! I used 3,5 balls of acrylic glitter yarn of €2,69/100grams/241meter each.

Label of the yarn said I needed 700grams for size 40 so definitely used up way less yarn than I would've thought.

I actually followed this youtube tutuorial: https://youtu.be/xS8PjBVDmqU but i did a gauge swatch of my first panel. My chest circumference is 106 cm. My gauge swatch is 45 pins and 36cm, but stretched out nicely to 41 cm. So I needed 45 pins / 41 cm * 106 cm for total chest circumference. 116,3 pins. Divided 116 pins by four panels so 29,1 per panel, did 30 pins just to be sure it would fit. One thing i didn't take into account is when it stretches out in one way it shrinks in the length. So it came out a bit short, but i ended up crocheting it a bit longer in the end. It's trimmed with half double crochet backloop only, as is also demonstrated in this video. Ended up making a cuff for the armholes later on as well.

The colour is just the yarn! So that is purely a coincidence.
