I’ve done 4 inches on the body after joining the whole thing in the round and my 1st skein ran out. I’m pretty confident I have enough to finish but, just in case I’m wrong, I’m finishing the neck and arms first. Then I’ll know I can just knit the rest of the body without sweating too much about how much yarn I have.
Really enjoying this and can’t wait to wear it!

Finished it on Friday, 24th. Decided to go only about 10 inches from armhole cast on to hem so that I can wear it with high waisted skirts and trousers as well as over dresses. Looks great with everything!

Neck and armhole ribbing was 8 rounds and hem was 12.

Used 173g including swatch.
