Modification so far:

  • On the back I added 1 repeat.
  • For my yarn I used a worsted weight held single instead of a 4 ply held double.

I am nervous that this won’t actually be a medium when finished but will be blocking for the first time with this project. I love how the pattern looks, it is very lacy, delicate.

Having issues with this. Pattern is not real clear. I am at beginning of 2nd front panel, and have torn out twice…now I realize why I am having a problem--the sleeves do not seem to be same length…AUGH! Have got to take a closer look at this…

Managed to complete this project. Really is very nice looking. Daughter LeeAnn has blocked it for me. Looks pretty. Now the stitches actually look like a butterfly :) Need to bind the edges and we’ll see how it fits.

Project complete. Looks very nice. Hope my friend Fran will like it. In search for a pin to include with the gift to secure the front…but would be fine without. Think my LeeAnn is hoping it won’t fit Fran…so she can have it. Ha!
