Notes

35” high bust measurement, 37” full bust measurement.

I’m not a fan of positive ease so I’m planning on doing an in between of the first two sizes for roughly 35” garment chest measurement.

Casting on 33” size.

74 + 5 + 74 + 5 = 158 (35.1”)

Dec waist to 130st, then back to 158 for hips.

Seriously unimpressed with the yarn. It’s lovely yarn, but I’m 5 balls in and every ball has had at least one join, one ball had two. I’ve never come across so many joins before.

The body used exactly 5 balls (500m). Love the fit / shaping.

Sleeves: picked up 6, decreased 2 st in first and second rounds (dec 4 total). Decrease down to 36st at wrist, then 10 rounds before rib. 18” sleeve before rib. 14 rounds rib.

Hood: PU 78 st, split for hood and placed SM in center of hood. Worked 5 sets of knit to 1 st before maker, M1, slip marker K1, M1, knit to end, purl alt rows. (Shaping took 1 3/4”). Knit until hood measures 12 1/4”. Decreases x 5 (K to 3 st before marker, K2tog K1, slip marker, K1, SSK, knit to end. Alt rows purl. Graft.

I-cord for drawstring.
