Notes

Made the 48 1/4” size for a 50” bust and it’s pretty flowy, especially after steam blocking. Could have gone down at least one size because my waist is small. Considering gathering a bit in the back or steeking the sides to take it in a bit.

I washed and dried my swatch and it looks pretty good so I might not hand wash this garment.

The collar was off-the-shoulder big so picked up the front and back and 10 sts on ea side of the neck without knitting them then ~20% dec (k2 dec k3 dec) around then started I cord. Perfect boat neck.

The sleeves were a little tight w the i cord made w maybe every other row? So didn’t graft them together under the armpit and it gave just enough to fit better.

24st stockinette swatches:

4.0mm = 4.3”
(22sts = 4”)
Third swatch

3.75mm = ?
Should be right so I’m gonna go with it for the smaller needles.

3.5mm = 3.75”
I tried this first. It’s my smallest interchangeable.

2.75 (2.5?)mm = 3.53”
I got confused and accidentally swatched this & 3.5mm w 34sts so thought I had to go down a needle.
