Notes

reconstructed chart from written instruction.
seems to be a repeat of 16 st/14 rows…
Will follow for chart only, otherwise follow the numbers for my modified “audrey”, as pattern does not go up to my size, and change into a sleeveless pullunder

cast on 300 sts with needle 3 mm, in tubular cast-on.
10 rounds of ribbing
50 rounds straight
decrease 4 (left and right of fake seam) in rounds

60, 68, 76, 84, 92, 100, 108, 116, 124, 132, 140, 148

knit straight
increase 4 (left and right of fake seam) in rounds

160, 166, 172, 180, 188, 196

Round 203=Round 1
divide for front and back to be finished seperately, going back and forth; cast off 31 sts for each armhole with fake seam sts in center (=2x 108 sts)
change to bigger needle (3,25mm)
start charted pattern,
at the same time decrease for armholes 8 times one stitch away from edge in right side rows: rows 1, 3, 5,7,9,11,13,15 (= 2x 92 sts)

GRMPF. CONTRAST DOES NOT WORK. GREY AND GREEN ARE TOO CLOSE.
ribbed back, new colors

Front:
begin neck shaping in row 42
bias bind-off center 12 sts
finish sides seperately, bias bind-off 6 in row 44

bias bind-off 4 in rows 46, 48

decrease 1 sts at neck over next 5 WS rows (50, 52, 54, 56, 58) =2x 20 sts
knit 10 rows
begin shoulder shaping in row 70 by working two short rows over 10 sts, place sts on holder, finish back

back:
begin neck shaping in row 68
bias bind-off center 50 sts =21 sts on each shoulder
R 69: k
R70: bias bind-off 1 at each side of neck = 20 sts on each shoulder
work shoulder shaping over next four rows with short rows over 2x10
turn inside out, work 3-needle bind-off with front shoulders in row 75

Finished!
Armholes a bit tight, reworked all bands.
armhole bands in short row: wider at side and top, only pick-up and cast-off row at underarm, to gain another inch or two.
reworked neck-band into prettier two-colored rib with jssbo in two colors so that it still fits over my head…
Quite like my new slip-over!
