Maintenance
To keep your jumper for a long time, it is recommended to space out the washings and not to wear it several days in a row. Air it out for few hours to remove any bad smells and store it flat in an unconfined area. Hand wash or machine wash if it has a “wool” balance program and use little detergent. The water temperature should be constant for washing and rinsing and < 30°C. Do not use softener. Dry flat in a good ventilated area and program smooth out under the steam of the iron, in wool position.

Petits bémols pour moi : 2-3 coquilles dans les explications du patron, et le tableau des dimensions qui m'a au final induite en erreur. J'étais un peu entre 2 tailles, j'aurais pu prendre la taille du dessous.
Mais sinon je suis contente de mon premier kit !
