Notes

18-09-2023

Worked 5.5 purple stripes and 5 yellow stripes.
Working seamless sides.

21-09-2023

Bind off first side with 22 stitches

24-09-2023

Starting bottom hem. 216 sts around. Working seed stitch instead of garter.
Finished with one knit around row and stretchy bind off.

Starting mesh section with 3.5mm needles.

25-09-2023

Calculations for mesh section:
108 sts each front and back
Working size 2: 108-92/2=8
Bo 8 sts on each side of marker

30-09-2023

Could have made a smaller size, as I like my tops with negative ease, but still ok. Looks a bit triangular on the sides but once you put it on, it looks straight, couldn’t believe it! Trust the process!

01-10-2023

Worked 8 mesh clusters in the front.
92 sts - knit 20 sts each side for 3 needle bo.
Bo 52 mid sts.

Could have done with a little bigger armholes but the mesh was boring me…
Needs a soak and a stretch and it’s ready for summer! (:
