Notes

MODS
Sizing: my gauge on size 8 is 14 sts over 4” Didn’t like the drape of smaller needles, so… did some math and made adjustments.

Cast on size 1 and knit per pattern through the lace section. For the first increase after the lace: K5 M1 = 216 sts. For the final increase K8 M1 = 244 sts total. Also added rows here and there to account for row gauge being off.

Bottom: 7 rounds of ribbing (to prevent starting a new skein). Size 8 needles. Use Lori’s Twisty bind-off from the Ranunculus video. Used a double point - less fiddly.

Sleeves: Suzanne Bryant’s method to eliminate holes. Video here. The pattern doesn’t specify how many stitches to use on the icord bind off. Tried 3 - too tight. Went up a needle size and tried 2 - still too tight. So… used the elastic bind off. Video here.
