Notes

Gauge, US6:
26.4 sts x 34.7 rows =4 “
Fabric too see-through for my preference. :(

Gauge, US5:
28.2 sts x 38.8 rows =4”
Much better! Time to math the pattern.


Adding just under 2” (18 rows/9 sets) of horizontal bust darts (HBD). Why have I never done HBDs before!? OMG, such a fantastic fit!!

Moving waist shaping location to match what Amy Herzog / Custom Fit does because that works really well for me.

Short sleeves, lengthened slight to hit right above the crease of my elbow.

JSSBO for bodice and sleeves. I wish I had gone down a needle size for the twisted ribbing.

The cowl’s lack of stitch count and chart gave me troubles, but one I drew it out it went well.

I think I want to do something different with the cowl seam (center back). The outer edge doesn’t look as neat as I’d like.


There’s something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let’s burn a little bit brighter now

Against the Current, “Brighter
