Heart and Chain Sweater

Finished the right sleeve and got 15g left for the 2nd skein, meaning one sleeve costs 85g merino yarn. That leaves me 130g merino for the remaining body. I think I have enough to finish it off!

I knitted few rows of body before picking up the 2nd sleeve. The length is okay-ish but I’m still not sure about it. Another half diamond would make it more suitable to dress alone, on the other hand, leave the length as it is (plus ribbing) is probably the more attractive option. Still undecided, so I started the left sleeve.

This time, instead of picking up two stitches from each V, I picked up 4 st from 3 Vs, so V, V, double V. This gives me 88 sts, and I was able to decrease to 80 sts in the following round by doing * k9, k2tog *, repeat from * to * 8 times.
